i believe you can get twice the life out of the m/t's compared to the hoosiers and goodyears.

Man, i would be so damn glad to hit a 1.6-1.5 60 foot it isnt funny and you are doing way better than that, but the T56 is another animal i guess.

koni spa-1's all around, moroso springs up front, stock '99 ss springs in the rear. and everything else you can buy/do for one of these cars and still be "stock type suspension"
i honestly think i can get a 1.28 out of it the way it sits. i was just about to pull the trigger on some expensive shocks, but im going to keep going with this setup for the time being.

Re: testing on the 275s

What rpm are you leaving the line at? Are you leaving on the nitrous off the brake?

nitrous starts ramping in right off the brake. on this pass it was 100% 1.2 seconds into the run. very conservative.
