Here is a video from the track... between the sport brakes and my new wheels and tires my car weighed 3420 with me in it... when last year with my 300zx wheels and stock front rims I weighed 3380.. Ive also added 7 lbs of sound dampening material since but had my front passenger seat out yesterday... I think I had a touch more gas this time too.. but traction was an issue all night... You hear me spin through first and second which sucks, than chirp third and than 4th too , never did that before... but My tube was running a bit lean according to my tuner when I checked it today , its a new motor and wasn't re-tuned, I am going to dyno and re-tune this week... I have video of a few new 5.0s one guy with intake, LTH , exhuast tune went 11.7@117 with DR's and skinnies, the rest were low 13's high 12's... some newer vettes automatic running 12.9-13.0.. CTS-V with pulley some other mods 11.7 as well... good night but should of been better if I was prepared correctly.

But without a doubt I lost some power/speed with the bigger heavier wheels.. each GTS wheel is 3.5 lbs heavier than oem 19s and the 255/305 hankooks weigh significantly more than the NT05's in stock sizes... But this run was a 2.15 60 and still managed a 13.01@108 ... not bad but I expected better... Makes me want te37's even more now... I took the hankooks down to 28 psi for this run which helped a little but I did more watching than racing last night... I just knew I wouldn't be totally satisfied with my times so I went easy and only made 3 passes... I also had two maps and had no idea which was the better one to use ... after some dyno time next week and the PE LTH and some lighther wheels and drag radials, I will go back and make a pass to be proud of... but heres the video...
