Oh trust me I know

That was my first time ever racing and I had no idea what I was doing.
(And on top of that my tires in the back are completely bald and I later found out that they were aired up to 40psi )

Just like the first time I got my Jeep I burried it in about 3 ft of mud because I didn't know about "ruts"

Its gonna take practice.

Maybe I should be asking "is it easier to bring a fox or LT1 in the 9s", so then i'll be able to run 12s.

 

Actually, in regards to your tires, contrary to "popular belief", normal street radials often work BETTER when they're pumped up (to maybe ~35-36 psi) than when they're deflated to 25 psi or less. Problem is, deflating them, they'll "cup" in the middle, whereas pumped up, it keeps the tread flatter (more contact patch) ... you don't get much "wrinkle effect" deflating a radial tire anyway.

Your fronts should definitely be pumped up as well (less rolling resistance), and the rears will benefit from the same thing.

 

Visually inspecting the tires the tread was all down in the middle and not so bad on the outsides. The previous owner probably did this to get good gas mileage.

What about taking off the swaybars?

I know my YJ ran great without swaybars, but it had a nice stiff lift, so rolling from side to side wasn't an issue.

How will the street manners be?

 

I wouldn't remove the rear swaybar at all. As for the front, it is pretty common to remove or unbolt one side to aid in traction at the track. As for street manners, you may not be able to carve corners like you used to.

 

Alright cool I may try that

Thanks for your help

 

LMAOOOO
