Adding Nitto's and FTRA
Iam gonna put the old Nittos back on due to traction issues through first gear at the track. Iam spinning through first, most of it, coming off the line at idle and mashing the gas. Second has a nice little spin also. Iam hoping the Nittos will eliminate 90% of the spin! I would like to see some 1.9 60's times leaving the line easy....stock rear!
I also have a Fast Toys Ram Air setting around that Iam gonna put back on since the weather should be cooling down here soon. Since i trapped @ 115.4 in warm air I think that a 117.0x maybe possible if everything comes together on one run! In other words alot of LUCK
12.56 @ 115.4 first run and th second was a 12.64 @ 115.1 with a worse 60' time so I stopped killing my tires since they had no chance not to mention I was satisfied with my first time out too the track with my new mod.

I went to the track the other night and the weather was in the upper 60's but I didn't have time to put the FTRA on or have the Nittos put on. Here are my times and 60's.........
12.445 @ 115.36 mph
60' 1.953
12.443 @ 115.40 mph
60' 1.961
I was glad to best my last e.t. and was impressed with my 60' times on my street tires (firehawk FZ 50's) at 32psi! And that was leaving the line off idle. The traction problem was still pretty bad after the 1-2 shift. The rear of the car drifts to the right and I end up hardly using 2nd do to the spinning.
I just had the Nitto DR's put on today. Iam thinking some 1.8x with the Nittos and eliminating the spinning problems after the 1-2 shift. Can't wait for the next trip to the track.

Nice times James. You might see 12.0's or should I dare say 11.9's at NP in cool weather with the Nitto's and FTRA.

Wher do you live? I run at SCD, No Problem and Eunice quite often. You are running more mph then me too 
. My problem is a too loose converter right now but I still don't think I will trap 115-117mph maybe 114-115mph. With some tires that thing should run 11.90's if everything else works right. You should come run that thing in Eunice this Sunday there will be a bunch of car there. I have some new et streets and hope to run my first N/A 11sec pass and maybe my first 10 sec pass on the N2o. Goodtimes. Later
