Almost ready for the drag strips again 
EDIT:
Just mounted these today and broke them in a little. I love these tires!!! Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials: 305/35/18.
Went WOT through the first 3 gears, only broke traction for a second in first before the tires grabbed the road again. No slippage in any other gear. Didn't even warm them up first.
For those who like to do the 1/8 or 1/4, I highly recommend picking up a set.

Thanks. I doubt the transmission and turbo lag will allow me to get below 2.0, but I shouldn't have to feather the throttle down the track anymore. I was hoping to take it to a track shortly but my drivers side window stopped working a few days ago. And today I just discovered that one of my lower control arm bushings is shot, which is throwing off my alignment.

Ordered them through a shop up here in 29 Palms, totaled $878 w/mounting.

Yeah finally. Tranny is working fine and is no longer slipping at mid RPM. Its not much of a difference since its only 30hp more. My lack of power is being blamed on 91 octane, could have gotten more out of it with an aggressive tune but didn't want to take the risk.

Anyone know of a good place to do wheel repair and powder coating? I got a used set of OEM 19s for free but the curb rash is horrible and pert of the lip has been repaired with bondo 
and has been painted a different color than the other three lol . I would really like them to be in mint condition as it looks tacky.

some one pulled a little hit and run and damaged my hood bumper and cracked the whole head light. so i figure it's time for paint. anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on paint/body shops that won't break the bank but will do a great job. I'm not looking for an earl schieb either thanks...
