Dan,

I would have never thought to find Quantum Mechanics in the Pittsburgh Thread. However, if you'd like to discuss negative probabilities such as outlined in your post above in more depth I'd be happy to over a few beers.

Hell we can even race.

Agency Power shifter bushings and an AGP solid front motor mount bushing.

So much for keeping it stock. I just couldn't help myself.

Mike, I was thinking back and you have a pretty darn nice setup going. Why not some race rubber? Altho those new tires are pretty darn close to race rubber

Thanks for the input Jeremy, honestly I just don't feel like I'm ready for race slicks yet. I really enjoy the whole street car aspect of it also, plus I want that damn cup!!...lol I will probably take your advice and go with 255's now just have to pick between the Z1 and NT-05.

i'm running the z1starspecs and love them. they do run a bit wide. have no experience with the nt-05. also look at the toyo r1r.

You paid because you don't have the knowledge, experience, understanding, etc to do it yourself nor have spent the countless hours and seat time to learn, experience, and understand what your doing and/or maybe dont want to spend the time, etc to learn, understand......so you pay for the services of others that do and have spent the time.

btw almost 11's? (what world does this count in?

)

I don't see why not. Your TBE and more refined tune should put you solidly out in front but hey, its always fun to see how my car stacks up.

I know this is not horseshoes or hand grenades but.....

I ran a 12.1 @ 117
Tony ran a 12.3 @ 113

Mods were at a minimum also. TBE,MBC,TUNE no FMIC,CAMS etc etc.

Same for the other car. Other car was never ran.

Actually i let about 7 people borrow my tune. did some data logging, everything was ideal and everyone was happy.
