Thats why you got get electric ones like mine! lol

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.

I am working around my schedule to go next Wednesday night as it opens at 5, I got there 830 last night :/ It will be less packed than Friday.
You should join! Will most likely have a few guys join in as well. We can all roll together from Boston area.

You dont have cooling either, so even if the pump is working, with bad air and track prep, I could see 113mph. Damn, those mirror covers look hawt

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.

Yea, I guess the track traps low as well.
Those covers sure do look good, thanks buddy I was cursing putting them on though, couldnt get em to sit right haha.
I want to do the grille in cf now. And wheels gloss black.

Talked to the shop for dyno/afr, theyre gonna try to squeeze me in before wednesday comes. I have faith in em.

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

Thank you. Your wheels was the first set I bought for the car. Never put em on. They look great!
