they have an insane amount of grip even when they're cold. They're pretty quiet but the only thing is that they barely and i mean barely fit the wheel well. I rub pretty much everywhere I go even when its just me in the car...I wouldn't recommend the size that I have 285/18/35 unless you somehow have pounded out your fenders (not just rolled) though.

Ran a 8.64 1/8th mile, which is just under .3 seconds better than before, only difference was a newer tire, and a wider tire. (bald 245->new 255). I was really happy with the improvement, but of course since the last run, my friend had done some go fast bits to his WRX, which jumped from running a 9.1 to a 8.62, making his car "officially" faster on an 1/8th mile, and I haven't heard the end of that one. Cannot wait to take it to a quarter mile track.
On a side note, I tried to take out the spare to see if the weight difference would help me shave off .02 seconds, and I found that I couldn't get traction for ****? Needless to say I was surprised that that amount of weight loss caused me to be almost unable to put down traction.

ET's
13.19 ET @ 106 mph
Temp 47 deg F
Tires Fusion ZRi street tires, no traction in 1st
Ran heads up to an E92 M3 V8 and I lead at the 1/8th mi pole, but he reeled me in on the big end and won by a car. Still not bad for a heavy V6 C32

No, I used the jet sizes on the zex site for the 5.0 mustang (new one). a/f looks good to redline. I'm going to upgrade the tranny and add more nos with race gas (for insurance)

supposedly my car ran a 13.6 stock with 19's.
I'm hoping to get a run in this year w/ 185mm/EC tune/C3P intake/EC HE/PSK, etc.
I'm going over maintenance and solving other issues to make sure its perfect so maybe we'll see. I also will be at Bristol Dragway in TN, so the times are usually a tenth or 2 slower then other tracks. We shall see fellers.

The drag way opened up again and got to run with the new heat exchanger and improved eurocharged tune. Best run was against modified Mach1 mustang. Decided to do a burnout for better traction. 1st, 2nd, rolled out in 3rd. Tons of smoke! Track is at 5500FT. Equals out to around a 50HP loss. Best run last year was 13.91
R/T: 0.18
1/4: 13.456
MPH: 106
The Mach1 ran a 14.1
