You do realize that you've put this in every post I've read of yours so far? [Big Grin]

Just get it dyno tuned or something? Either way, nice numbers.

Sorry for the inturruptions guys, carry on [patriot]

I run the BFG drag radials & love them!!! I have a lil more than 300 RWHP and can launch with the best of them!!!

I use the 275/35/18's. They don't last real long (I got 5000 miles out of my last pair)but aired down to 14 PSI and heated up good they can handle me spraying a 150 shot out of the hole!!! [worship]

Later,

Perry

Costco carries Bridegstones. I found the tire i wanted for my wifes car by researching these online tire places and asked my local Costco if they could get that model tire and price match and they did :)on top of that i got lifetime flat repair,rotation,and balance. Her car has the RE950,s but you may want something else.. just an idea.
