You need more power man.

Do you mean for the extra grip with the new R comps or the size of them?

Give John a call, 262-740-0180. Pure road race slicks, take offs for 60 bucks a pop! I have used them on my minibusa and all were like new. Most are only used for qualifying then replaced with a new set for the actual race.

hmm.. maybe but I also feel like I can use some traction in longer turns I might try using a smaller pulley next year once I add a bigger oil cooler

thanks I will keep that in mind but I hear it may be hard to tell if they are completely heat cycled out/ hardened before they become completely worn out

Hankook Ventus Z214 C51 (medium) 245/40/17 ordered with HC service (soon to be installed)

Where did you get them and at what price? Dat purple crack is definitely expensive. $1200+ a set.

I think they call Hoosiers a "purple crack" and yes they go for about $1200 a set but I ordered Z214s and they normally cost around $900 a set.. if you have 18" wheels there was a closeout on TireRack's website (on C71s but still so cheap to pass on)
