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.

Re:Just got back from the track

holy ----, i just noticed you set the ftl at 5600

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.
