Supercharged cars have potential. People fail to realize it. Yes, you can get a lot more out of a Turbo. Lets be honest for a minute. I probably have a smidgen over 300 to the wheels right now. And quite frankly it's a little annoying due to there being no traction. I go half throttle in 1st and it redlines almost immediately. I slam second and I sping all the way to 7k rpm (~65-70mph) before the tires grab traction. Just in time to throw third. No use in have 96546516546516951HP if you can't keep it to the ground. So once I get my Intake and Exhaust finished, I am dropping to a 2.9 and going to a 7gph nozzle on the TVS and am done with it.

 

BULLSHIT. i bet your gonna port the head within a year

 

Uhmmm. PM sean from OTT...... I think they have some units sitting around. Not sure if they'll take a trade though. if not, sell it on here then use the money for a TVS.

 

yea true but you will kill most bastards on the highway

 

I dunno man. Part of me wants to and part of me doesn't. If I can figure out what in the hell to do to keep my car from spinning so much then you bet your ass I get a fully assembled, ported and polished head. Then I can be the second Area47. hehe

3rd gear burnouts are for ricers.

 

remember tires are cheaper than axles/transmissions/etc. why do you think bryan ran crappy tires for the longest time?

 

Cause he was on stock axles like myself.

I'm going to bump up to the Stage 1's. That's gonna be more than enough for me. I would go Stage 2 but I won't be putting that much stress on them....

I'm actually kinda scared on running the DR's with the factor axles at the track. Yes I have the tranny mounts and other things, but I still don't want to snap and axle.

 

well ring it with you friday and we can find out..

yea that would suck

 

no its not

 

So....Idea's. I am actually looking at new tires as it is almost time to get some.....Chime in...

BFGoodrich KDW2's 235/40ZR18 - $170 ea.

Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 235/40ZR18 - $240 ez

I'm thinking I'll just cheap way it and get the BFG's.

 

my friend has the kdw2's and it has alot of road noise if that matters.

 

I have a catless downpipe, Ingalls Torque dampener, OTT Stage 2 mounts.......You think a little road noise will bother me?

Plus, the Pirelli's are only 'quiet' for about 3k miles then they start to get really noisy. So, meh. I dun care that much. haha

 

then go with the kdw2's! they look sweet

 

na the pirelli's tend to stay quiet or atleast for me they were on there wen i bought da car wit 17k on it it now has 22k n they still seem quiet to me. but idk maybe since i didnt have em new idk the difference

 

Yes, I love their aesthetics. And I need something with some damn grip. You saw the picture. I pulled a 30mph back half and ran 116 in a 1/4 mile. That trap speed is damn good for a low 12 second pass.

Mine are teh noisy.

If you get brand new Pirelli PZero Rosso's on, they are extremely quiet. But they get noisy pretty quick. The 3k is an exaggeration. Usually around 10-12k miles is when they get noisy.

 

oo. well idk how long they been on, i no theyve been on atleast 5k wit me but we shall see

o n balt i prolly wont be up this weekend but ill mite be up there mon n tues cuz those are my days of cuz i cant afford to take sat n sun off again like last week

 

true dat!

 

Why not any of the nitto tires? A budy of mine has the invo's and they are solid in dry and wet. also very quiet. I was thinking of maybe getting the nt05's. they should be great for the track but will be a bit noisy and not as forgiving to bumps and cracks. but like you said, that doesn't bother you. I think they can be had for about the same price of the kdw's. but with better performance i believe

Anyone going to see the shuttle launch tonight? should go off @ 1:10. Will be quite a site to see if weather permits

 

i would like to but i get of at 6

 

I don't get out until 7. I won't get out there until late. I just want to get some good pics of a night launch

 

******* do a launch EVERY day I have work.

Ahhh bitches!!! Friday @ 12:22 am. I'm ******* going to be there! I hope they don't cancel that ****. I'll be teh pissed off!!

 

yeah, i'm in the same boat as you. I've never been to a launch. i have a decent camera and would like to get some pictures out of it. so it's on for friday at midnight now? not sure how much i trust that

 

As of right now, Friday Morning @ 12:22 am. I'm heading out to the cape right after class tomorrow night to catch it. Hopefully there will be a place to park. Even if it's on the side of the road.

 

Don't park on the side of the road. You WILL get a ticket. you have to park in a lot or @ a store. Don't stop on the highway or any of the bridges

 

I was thinking Jetti Park. If I can get in.
