In short, need more details. Where are you planning to run this much power? Street/Track/Mix? How much tail wagging are you willing to accept? With as much as that turbo kit runs, FI, without install charges (unsure if you did the install yourself), why risk an accident on the street (if you are in fact trying to use all that power there)?

Hi, my FI was installed and tuned by Seb at SZ, it is very reliable and great. My goal is racing at street witch is 60-130mph some thing like that, I need better grip tire, I already have KWV3 and spl arms for suspension so all I need now is a new set of wheel and tire. what do you mean "getting any additional traction from any radial on an unprepped surface." ? the uneven road bump? I want no slip from 60mph, 3rd gear at 60mph if I can. You mean I should go play in drag race in track?

If this is what you are wanting to do, PLEASE take it to the track. There are too many variables on the street to drive at these speeds, and inevitably someone is going to get hurt. PLEASE, for the sake of the car/enthusiast community as a whole, DO NOT do this on public roads.

my opinion is the MT et street R 305 45 17 on a 17inch 10J te37 or something, no idea about the front

Thank you love you guys hehehehe

Do you have sport brakes in the rear or the base single piston rears ? You could run 17's with the bigger brakes and a Mickey or M&H (lower tire pressures on a warmish day should help you with traction). Or do one better and run 16's (don't know if 15's would clear) on the small base brakes and run a taller tire. Its all up to researching a decent setup for your purpose and power level !

You're on your own if you want modification help for street racing. I'm not taking any part in this.

Yes I have sport brakes, in my research you need up to 17in in the back to clear it, and you must swap to 350z base brake and rotor to clear them

Here, fixed it for you. Noop, I am not helping you hurt yourself or anyone else for that matter.
BTW, 650whp is slow and boring.

You're right... he needs 800+

Didn't this dipchit say he was going to OSU? Ohio State University? You're going to drive over 24 hrs to "mexico" to street race? GTFO off the forum you POS. You're the reason why the car culture looks bad.
