Welp, finally got my lower rpm spark values tuned in a bit better and this thing is a whole nother beast. B4 the power wouldn't kick in til about 3500 rpm but now I've got it pretty much down.

That leads to a problem, however. While going around 30 or so I punched it in second gear and verrry shortly thereafter the car started dancing on the road so to speak (that pretty much put a on my face)...the thing that got me was the fact that I have nice wide tires in the back and all of my tires were underinflated by about 4 psi (on the way to air them up)...didn't know I was making that much power...

I was just wondering if anyone had any tire suggestions for 18X9 saleen wheels. I was looking at some nitto 555s since this is a daily driver. Right now I have 285s in the back and 265s in the front and I like the look of that so I'd like to stay with it.

Thanks for the input and just for the record, I'm also searching....Just wanted to get a wide variety of insight :SNSign:

Just looking to get some people's input/experiences.

I did some research and looking around and it looks like the Nittos are about your best bet for a DD. Good hooking and decent treadwear (10-15k).

I ordered a pair yesterday morning.
