Ive tried 5 diff sets of rears....best street tire for straight line traction = Eagle F1's

Yeah Ive heard good things about it. The only thing I dont like about it is the fact that it shifts hard all the time. If there was a way to control it so I could only use it at WOT I'd do it.

Went back for a few practice runs before the big event on sunday and backed up my times from last week.

First run:
rt .500
60' 1.988
330' 5.715
1/8 8.7
mph 80.45
1000' 11.400
1/4 13.588
mph 102.85

Second Run
RT .563
60' 1.982
330' 5.723
1/8 8.769
mph 79.07
1000 11.368
1/4 13.566
mph 102.73

Third run I tried launching harder and got a 2.0 60' and 13.6@102.

When you launch let go of the brake first then give it about 75% throttle once the car starts rollin then 100%. You have to do it pretty fast so I would practice before you go. Goodluck.

I forgot to mention I weighed my car again after my exhaust install and came in at 3280 with me in it. My previous was 3300. I weigh about 140.
