we thanks to drew, i got the slicks for the car, and they worked great. i didnt however get the times i wanted, but at the same time i also forgot less psi=lower trap and speed
so i went last night and it started out pretty crappy, granny shftng instead of double clutching, almost blew the welds of the intake manifold and floorpan dropped once or twice... then i finally came down from a 15.8 to a 15.5. kept dropping as i got use to launching slicks.... at about 5700rpm. then tried the preload... presto chango, 15.1 @ 89 mph and a 2.06 60ft. that was the best run, others were 15.16, 15.20, 15.28 etc.
p.s. ZX3_2NV, did u have a problem with the slicks rubbing on ur strut during turns?? looks like i need some spacers lol
