Moose, sorry to hear about your accident, as long as no one was hurt everything else can be fixed. By the way, the answer to your low numbers on the dyno may very well be the drag radials. If you were running the drag radials on the dynoyou were probably slipping on the drum.

I have the BFG KD's and they are pretty slick. A tech at BFG said to very careful in the rain or cold weather and he was right. Very slippery in those conditions but they grip like hell with good weather.

I have the BFG drag radials too, but I switch when I go to the track.

Sorry to hear that about your car. I get nervous sometimes when I see stupid people cruising around. A spin out like you did can happen to anyone with the CC on.

Ouch. That sucks bro. I'm very, very sorry man. I've been there before, so I know how you feel. Hurricane Katrina left my '99 under 10 feet of water.[&o]

I had them on for the dyno, i would have thought they'd have no slip on the drums.
