thanks for the info, good point about RTs. however i dont care much about RT's right now just doing test & tunes to work out bugs & see what the car will do... you can sit at the line for 30 seconds if you want & wont affect the ET's.

i have read/heard that a taller tire reduces rolling resistance though, not sure how much that will help et's or 60ft but it makes sense. i think taman meant the taller tire will help get the nose up more.
