I ran N555R on mine while it was my daily driver. They didnt want to break loose ever. Granted all i had was a flowmaster cat back and some 4.10's.

no thats fine... but people can do 2.0 on $50 stock radials that are 10 years old.

on mickeys you can go 1.6-1.7 ALL DAY LONG

since every tenth is worth 2 tenths ET....... your going .4 to .6 slower

thats about equal to 50 hp

i still dont see the comparison, and i hate to sound like a d!ck but i bet 1.9 was your best and you had a string of 2.0, 2.1's with an occasional 2.2

but correct me if im wrong
