I'd like street tires, that will be beneficial in drag enough to get my 60' into the low 1.9's , still has some wet weather traction, and I don't deal with snow or ice.

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

You need to get a valvebody upgrade and your times will improve quite a bit.My vb will snap your neck back when shifting.

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.

I have a forged performance vb that i bought from Matt who is a moderator on this site.When driving normally you really dont feel anything at all but when you get on the throttle.........you def feel it.I f you would like to see what it feels like just pm me anytime and i can take you for a ride.You will be amazed.

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.
