They got here on Wednesday but I was out of town until today. Took them to the track and made 2 runs. First one was an 11.258 with a 1.84 60ft time. They hooked really well and I was able to spray earlier. But, that does not explain a 1.84 60' time. Had a trap speed of 127 while record run was 129.5 for a 11.250. AMAZINGLY humid and in the low 80's. They felt great but jury is still out.

Second run I musta had a bad lane cause they spun like crazy. I think someone was leakin' something.

Marcus, I hear ya. I'm thinking the biggest advantage will be the ability to get on the NOS earlier in the 60' section. My trap speed is there, my 60' of 1.78 is what's keeping me out of the 10's in my opinion.
How do you put it in dyno mode? I only know how to just turn ESP off.

MT Street Radials. It was probably 80 degrees the other night, so 20 degrees warmer and much more humid than my best run.

its a little tricky but I can pwer brake w/ esp off, its just a whole lot easier w/ dyno mode on!!!
