First off, check back in with that statement when it’s below 50*F. I can do WOT in third if running thru the gears. The situation I’m talking about is if I’m cursing at 30-35mph and I roll into the throttle. As soon as the turbo spoils up it knocks the tires lose. Scared the **** out of me the first time cuz I was in my neighborhood. Driving a high power turbo car takes some getting used to. And I’m nowhere close to your power level.

What size and type are those?

I forgot to mention the tires needed to be warm. I have not knocked the tires of yet. It will step out to the right a little bit or squirm. Nothing major. I am running R888r's on 11.5 in. rims. Size is 325/30/19. Just a smidge on the wide side. All up under the fenders.

Yeah. That’s a lot of tire. I’m still running normal sport street tires. I’m thinking of going to triple-8s on the next set.

Why wait. Put them on and mothball the old ones. I have an extra set laying around. LOL

Been spending my extra funds on the truck and hunting stuff. It’s the cars offseason.

Even Brian at MA-Motorsports couldn't believe how well it did. He was expecting it to violently knock the tires off like yours. It does not. If it does cut loose it is very controllable. Thank Hotrodz for pointing me toward these tires. They are amazing.

Dude. You responded to the same posts with three different comments. If you get all that power down, that’s awesome. I don’t think you are lying. All I’m saying is that thing is going to be a completely different monster when the temperatures get cold. I guarantee I pick up 35-40whp when it’s cold and the spool and boost threshold are less.

LOL, Yeah I was waiting on a call to start. Conference calls, my life long dream to do at work.
