Well first time to the track since the blower...
Old N/A best... 14.4 @ 98 AVG times 14.6 @ 96
First runs, not so great. Then I clicked off the 13.9 @ 105 but I'm still not happy. (I know the 14.5 run I spun 1st and 2nd) we did have a strong head wind until the 13 run, but that's not a good enough excuse.
So how do you launch Nitto NT555's? (Non-D/R type) Cold, Warm, Hot? I was launching from 2,500-2,000 @ 20-18psi all with a quick peel/burn for rocks, but no heat. I wanted to try a full 35psi at idle launch to see what the MPH would be, because that's how I clicked off my 14.4 N/A on my Khumos... but those were on the stock wheels, I would think with the Nittos at low PSI and with 315's I'd get more traction... but it was kinda cold out, I think low 60's.

*EDIT* Forgot to add I can't get into 3rd, but I can still hit 13.5's at least even with the 3rd lock out... so how do I launch on these tires?
