man i went to the 1/8 mile track tonight my **** didnt see better than a 2.55 0-60ft time. NA i ran 2.1 consistent. i know little bit of lag but i ran .4 slower with the turbo than i did all motor.. wtf man. ***** pulling hard as a mother bitch.. even blows fires out both my mufflers.. looks bad ill get a video soon...
18" tires? Man, those 35 profiles aren't give up much in terms of traction.
Why don't you slap on the stockers and try a few more times. BTW, what turbo are you running again? I wouldn't expect 1/8mile times to be that great since it's our top end is what makes it fun. The only time you can expect to run a quick 1/8th is if you're fully slicked and on the juice.
