Ya that's the size I got. I'll let you borrow them if you want. Bring a jack next week and I'll run with yours. Since I am new to running drag radials, it won't matter much which ones I run on.

Re: the low mph. I have been letting off the gas a little while shifting (mostly due to the LSD and Tranny horror stories I read on the boards), I think I need to just keep it WOT. That should get me a couple MPH.
