Quick teaser vid...

17" bling blings on a radial(no more bias ply), no suspension tuning yet, didn't do a burnout, 35 degrees out so COLD streets, didn't air the tires down, and 3lbs of boost.
The camera car is my buddies 383 3rd gen on et streets and the other car is a bolt on ls1 on mt dr's.

Justin,
Are the Mickey Thompsons you are running 275 40 17? If so is it the old tread design or the newer one? I'm having trouble finding that size with the new tread design. If you don't know the difference the new tread design looks more like a nitto but still has the R2 compound. Btw my new QA1's are really helping with weight transfer and I put 300 pd springs up front and V6 springs in the back. It doesn't handle too bad either. I put all four QA1s on setting 2 and it is really hooking well for street tires. The tru trac posi is without a doubt the best posi I've ever run. Now I just need to either get some MT's or Nittos.

get the MT's, nittos barely hook on N/A cars
I run the 315-35-17 mt drag radial, new tread design.
So far they hook good on lower boost, and with it coming in soft they hook great up to 11lbs. With it coming in hard and 11-14lbs they blow them decently in 1st and part of 2nd, but I'm sure 14lbs on my setup is good for 138mph, lol.

Sorry the quality isn't the best, the camera guy was a newbie to running the camera. This was a dig race, camera started just afte we took off. The camera car is a 383sbc 3rd gen. The wastegate wasn't holding a solid boost level at all, it was all over the place.
That problem is fixed now, hopefully I can get the tune dialed in and it turned up for a few track passes next weekend on low boost.
