it depends on how much you have to lift. before i ran 105.21 with a 2.59 60' and with a 2.277 i ran a 103.02. but i have to lift a LOT now which is why. i didnt get as much wheelhop before and i didnt care as much

and yeah bwinkelsas im looking forward to some new #s as well!

I may try the Hoosiers next (as someone on here suggested).

I wondered about the Lentec trans brake, but at the same time, think I might try the 225/50/15 Hoosier as opposed to the 205/50/15 BFG's I am wearing currently. I have the "Saleen" Suspension Kit on the car, so about a 1.5 " drop. Do you guys fit a 225/50/15 ok in your wheel well with a drop?

What are your thoughts on transbrakes?
225/50/15 will def fit that is what I run. I too need some new ones. Im gonna try and revive them with a little track-bite for now.

Good, but you have to unhook the clutch pedal position sensor to keep the motor from bogging in between shifts.

Yea i found that out after I got mine. I just pushed the gray plastic piece up and made it stay there. So yours is disconnected? If so did it throw a light? If not how did you do it? When i disconnected mine. The car would just rev to were my 2-step was set at..

No light and it only works when the car is sitting still, which is were I want it. The only thing is that the cruise does not work. I think I am going to hook a toggle switch up to it So I don't have to keep getting under the dash every time I go to the track.

The track is nice. I was disapointed in traffic flow backstage. There is no good way to get to the staging area from outside, Go to their website, it tells when street-racing days are. It cost $20 for car and driver and everyone else is $5 each, under 12 are free. Good Deal, I think.
