Sounds good.

Pull some weight out, ice down the intake, and a little more traction and 11's should be no problem. The MPH is right there.

15"X8" draglites with 5.5" BS (if you cant get 5.5" BS, 4.5" BS will work),M/T ET Drag 28"X10.5".With skinnies up front and some cheap-o small tire specials.

Only thing with this is you'll be having soo much fun that your stock clutch might not like you any more,if you know what I mean

Huh,I thought Buffalo was at least 2000ft above!! IMHO Nitto's are good for 13 second cars and slower.Definitly upgrade them!! Im not sure which is the cheapest but BFGoodrich,M/T,Hoosier all make good dot legal tires!! If you wanted them for dual purposes(street and track) the new M/T DR would be a great choice!! Like someone said earlier,if you can get your 60ft times down to 1.5 , 1.6 you will be in 11's country

Nice times! It looks like your car is pulling HARD from mid track to the finish line. Nice! You will have good luck with either the ET Streets or the ET Drags. I run the ET Streets and yesterday I had 60' times of 1.70, 1.65, and 1.64. Usually, I'm in the 1.7's, low 1.8's.

I see guys run 1.5 and 1.6 short times every weekend on Nitto Dr's. If you have the 555's you will spin your ass off, no doubt. Get Nitto Dr's, BFG Dr's or MT's.

I running 555R drag radials, they just don't hook up for me.

When I had my 15" tubines wrapped with BF Goodrich Comp T/A's...my 60's were better.

Okay, first off...don't laught at my reaction time. This was my first time at the track and running Pro Tree. Okay, laugh...it's worse than terrible!

Looking at my time slip, especially MPH, what can you see my car doing E.T. wise with an "experiened" driver? I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

Those are great times for a car on 17's without a blower. Most guys go to the track their first time and run really slow- not you- that car must be dialed in perfectly. Very impressive!!!

nittos are not that bad of a DR i dont think. my buddy pulled a 1.69 out of the 315/35/17 nitto 555R's with a 426rwhp 2001 A4 ws6 and pulled a 1.8X out of his 275/40/17 yokohoma street tires. u just gotta know the perfect spot that will give u the most power and still hook with the situation at hand
