Well Texas has changed my mind some. Since I'm not road racing as much as I was in Florida decided to grab me a set of wheels and throw some drag radials on and have a little fun from time to time. Texas also has a lot of 1/2 mile events that I will be giving a go. Here is a video of the difference on my road course tires and the new MT ET STREET 2s

Yea it did require some more fender pulling. Fenders were already slightly pulled. When launching the car squats hard and it would rub so I pulled some more

Well it's been a good 2 years of road racing the car and beating on her pretty hard. She appears to have gotten some engine damage at this 1/2 mile event. Car ran a 149 with my 7200rpm map (have another map set to 7600rpm) so she may have had some more in her. But threw a belt at about 140mph at the end of 4th gear and threw oil out the valve covers when it happen. Pulled back into the pits, threw a new belt on and she was knocking pretty good. She never lost oil pressure as far as I know and still has good pressure at idle. Never got hot either. Will be breaking into her some soon. Not sure what direction I will go from here. May rebuild and keep pressing. Or make the swap to the LS world for the convenience of parts availability and reliability. Or may sell everything and start a LS 240sx build for road racing. We will see.
