I didnt get the car back. They called and told me that they wasnt going to have the tranny back together on friday. I was PISSED to say the least. None the less... they are paying for the full price of the rental for the entire time ive had it.

I am happy to say that I just mounted a set of BFG Drags 275/60/15's to a set of rims yesterday and they are ready for the track. Im almost positive I will see 12's with those. Im gonna let them down to about 18-20 lbs of pressure and launch as high as I can with them. Im hoping for a low 1.8 60' with them, seeing as how ive pulled high 1.8's out of Nittos. I think the track is open on Wednesday and I will report as soon as I get back. If not Wed. then it will be Friday. [&o]

Any helpful hints.

Im gonna raise the front tires to 40lbs too!

Yes. Go higher in the fronts. Go 46 ish. Start with 19 in the rears and take a little out as you go. 16-17 should be ideal. Now go find those 12's!
