First time on the track with ET Streets, pretty nice :)

Welp, after exhausting my Nitto's and taking them as far as 1.66 60' times, I figured I'd move up to ET Streets.

I'm running 26x10.5x16 ET Streets on salad shooters.

Last night's weather was about 30 degrees warmer then when I ran my best 12.0 time on the Nitto's... so all that said and done, I'm pretty happy as I ran a 12.45 @ 109.6 on a 1.73 60'... I know, not as good as on the Nitto's, but I think my car is bogging out of the hole now. Everyone told me my car looked like it hooked great then fell on its face a bit

After I dyno I'll look into what converter to get, the 2800 appears to be too small. But it's nice to see that I didn't lose a bit of MPH from what I can tell from moving to the ET Streets. I ran them at 19psi cold and they dead hooked... no doubt about it.

Tried launching from idle and that netted me some slower times. So I stalled it up to about 1600 and that helped. I was going to stall higher but the track shut down after some piece of **** rotary blew oil all over the lane.

Javier97Z28,
Stall that thing up a bit and you'll be impressed. I agree, 2800 stall is not enough.
