I went with the Nitto's because they were very tall being 245/45/17's, MUCH taller than the BFG's, and I need that height for gearing (although keep in mind I have a Shep Ultimate Ratio tranny, so Evo VIII 3rd and 4th).

I wouldn't daily drive on these (or any) drag radials, they are very soft. I run 18psi and have no problems off the line building 20psi and launching at 6500RPM

Post your faster run in my stock appearing turbo times thread!

To the OP i was in the same boat as you about a year or so ago.

Had an ACT clutch in there since i didn't have the knowledge nor cash for a twin and it did me in as well was running 11.2ish @ 131ish w/ 4th gear lockouts and 3rd gear grinds etc.

Found the clutch disc bushing was smashed and i'm guessing some warping of the disc and maybe flywheel as well.

Anyway i'm on a QM twin now and it performs flawlessly at the strip.

My first outting after the clutch the car ran well into the 10's @ over 135mph.
