Now it's time for traction. This is for anyone... a drag strip junkie, someone who wants some extra traction, or for the FI people who NEED traction. I bought
(2) 18"x10" +22 Saleen replica wheels and
(2) 275/35/18 BFG Drag Radials back in April to prepare for my FI venture. Unfortunately, my car hasn't ran right for much time since I went FI. This setup has 2 nights of highway driving, 4 passes down the drag strip when I was NA, and 5 passes down the drag strip when I was FI. I pulled a 1.8 60' and I was still learning the clutch. This setup has 1.7s in it easily!
