Decent launch, times are slightly higher than Id expect of a car with your power. Id like to see the slip, but I can tell you your shifting is leaving some on the table given what your running vs your traps and 60ft....

they are not my Daily tires lol, but ya according to a few shops theres no problem running them that way, just keep checking the air every few weeks if u use them daily, but for track only purposes no probs at all. running tubes may let u wrinkle a bit more for hook thats all.
