falkens and drag racing

I just picked up my falkens to replace my ate away stockers.

falkens are 255/40/17's

What will this change do to my trap speeds ? Slower?

r/t -.041
60ft 1.737
330 5.175
1/8 8.044
mph 84.92
1000 10.529
1/4 12.628
mph 107.24

I only got one run after my tune and tires. It got really crowded so I rolled. I need to get out there when I have more time to make passes.

6K 2step, I logged my run, but didn't look at it yet.


I might have a boost leak, I know i'm not holding boost well (lots of taper) but I think its my sucky ebay mbc


here is the video http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...56197991&hl=en

Yeesh, MBCs are not expensive. Why would you use an Ebay MBC? Ick.

don't know.. my dsm liked a cheap mbc, so I just swapped it over. The evo, I don't think likes it. I'll post the datalog info soon.

So what are your thoughts. I can't really take apart time sheets like others ?

Yeah, it seems like you're down on power a bit after looking at your mods with an 06. Now, if you've got a boost leak or are seeing higher knock counts then that may explain the lower mph. And of course I'm just basing the power statement off of your mph.
