Mikey's FP Black *** WOW ***
Ya I'll be going back in a few weeks with 18x9.5s and better tires to shoot for 9s. Ya rolling through at 136 did feel. 
The vid got cut off because the fiance didn't think it was important to continue once I beat the guy I was racing...
Girls...
Going through the traps between 8400-8600 depending on trap but 136 I believe was 8600.

...or all the Horsepower...one of the two. lol.
yeah mike...even if you get 18x9.5's they aren't going to make an appreciable difference at the strip. You just need... Hoosiers. lol. 245/45/17's
the 265/35/18 tires to fit on the 9.5's is a smaller OD...which means your gear ratio goes the WRONG direction! The 245's are taller and therefore will make you go through the traps at a lower engine speed given the vehicle speed.
I'd recommend getting a set of the 245 Hoosiers...The tires will help relieve some of the dynamic shock (jerk) on your drivetrain parts that wheel hopping street tires generates.
Evo 8 3/4 or do you have the Evo 9 3/4?

If you notice, all of these peeps with the LR motors that are revving extremely high are all located in Washington State near the Canadian border. I am convinced that the relative latitude above the equator has something to do with it. they are situated closer to the autumnal equinox.
However on the streets my car never goes over 7.8-8k because I stop making power at 7.5k. No need to rev it out, however at the track I had to. I'm not 100% what is was revving to on the track, didn't have logs but looked to be between 8400-8600 tops

oh well.
No seriously I did change my mind and when I ran into Nick from DO he wanted to get his LS2 powered 240 in and we both got told no way. I just kept telling you no because I wasnt going to get bullied into it 
Breaking or not I cant have a dyno queen my whole life. I need to push it or its pointless right?
