Ya but if you do a decently good burnout in the waterbox, like a 2nd gear burnout and come out of the box smoking, they should be pretty sticky. I used my buddys toyo road race tires one time and they worked pretty decent. Better than regular ol radial street tires.

You guys need to remember a turbo ls is going to have alot of torque down low, so getting traction out of the whole is difficult.

holy ----, i just noticed you set the ftl at 5600 :o no wonder you got shitty 60' times. set it lower than that. try it out at about 3500 and see how that does, if it bogs, raise it a little, if you get too much spin, lower it until you get the perfect balance between no bog and not too much spin, that's where you want to set it at.
