I would be extremely happy if I broke into the 12's . The biggest thing with the car nowis traction, hopefully the Nitto's cure that. What is the best DR out right now that would work good for the street/strip Nitto, MT, goodyear, BFG?

With DR's you should be in the high 12s easy. I would expect around a 12.7 or so give or take.[sm=signs003.gif]and let us know how she runs.

The DR's are whats going to help out the most. It will help him cut his 60 by a good amount. If it was a m6 he might have been in the mid 12s as long aslong as theclutch held. 12.7-12.9 is what i would expect. You could pick upa good amoutmore with gears and a converter since you have already addressed the traction isue.
