so whats with the stretched tires now? thought you wanted to stick with some meaty rubber for extra traction?
i stretched 245s on my rears and got better traction, mabye because tires are new, but 245 is whats on the stock sizes, i not gonna stretch a 225 on my rears. also had a 30 series tire on rear and went with a 35 series for more sidewall...got the best of both worlds. plus im supercharged not twin turboed, if i was then i would have more traction problems down low because of the low rpm torque. but since the vortech builds power throught rpms its perfect for what im doing....and i have drag setup for track

yeah that was the original plan. but then my exam got pushed back to that date so i had to back out. pretty upsetting, one of the biggest/best shows yet and i missed out.

it sucks having no life but school is my number one priority right now. never liked it and always slacked off in hs so im trying to make up for it now so i can get a decent gig and make some good money. didnt want to be at nissan for the rest of my life.
