Haters crazy
Close them all the way, not a little... I'm starting see how scratch's exhaust setup makes sense now, and how hes making all that power...

Good to hear! These tires seem to have excellent ratings all over the board.
They are electric, the button gives power to the motors but those are rusted up and stuck, cant close all the way as one is bent a bit after me realizing they are effin stuck and going to town with a screwdriver opening it all the way lol.

just let me know what the best days are... i just look at the weather and try planning around that. Just dont want to waste my time and go on a warm night. Im trying to hit 11s mostly stock on street tires but it looks like the prep at the track sucks.

Yes and some say if I had a different tire set up it may have gone 11.6x? I run a 17 OEM MB wheel with 275/40/17 MT's@53lbs wheels & tires combined. I never got a chance to run a friends 16" CCW setup with 255/50/16's Hoosiers@ about 38lbs combined so I'll never know
I still kick myself for not trying when I was offered the chance to run that set up
