well that'd be a new record for the stock ecu/mas I suspect, a pretty tall order.

no way!!! you have the power just need to drive it there.

big thing is tire and susption setup.

then you have other things how you drive it LOL

so many little things come into count and will effect your time when you try to make those .1 faster

For sure, I have the 615's and in the summer they were dialed in perfect on my setup for the street at 5800 2 step... then it got cold and the car turns sideways in 2nd...

I bet you'll be able to add quite a bit of air when it warms up... I had the bfg's on my last car, they were great, but I only used them at the drag strip.

Mike, what happens when you're out driving your evo with those on and it rains? How bad is it?
