If you plan on making more power some day i would say yes. Personally I'm a fan of making something stronger than it needs to be so it wont break. i say upgrade them just in case anyways. while you are at it. save up for a stronger transmission to, whether it be a rebuild on the T-3650 or a TKO500/600 or T56. just knowing these parts are stronger will take away some worry of stuff breaking under stress.

hows the weather where you are and what type of driving/racing you do?
i just got my Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs on and i tell you what, even though they are 245/45's the compound on them is extremely sticky! i tried kicking my mach 1 sideways in a HEAVY downpour and all i got was wheel hop. i cant wait until its 70 somethin degress and dry! ive had these tires on for 40-80 miles and im completely impressed already. only $139 a tire from tirerack.

I've got the same tires/size and they are incredible to say the least. I have tried to get them to "bark" going around the clover leaf, but I can't. My old Fuzion hri's would scream under the same conditions; understeer was horrible as well. Wet grip is amazing with the Dulnlops. The only time they will bark is shifting into second when it's like 50 degrees.

hell u might as well call MT ET streets, slicks b/c they hook harder than any other DR 10 to 1! plus if u take care of em u can get 5k miles out of em easy! i have nittos and they are decent on the street, when my car was bone stock they hooked but now i can get traction in 3rd gear most of the time. i say MTs if u want to hook
