Hey Chris,
I picked some up last year and they woked real well. Especially when heated up a bit. I have a TRE t/c and it is holding up so far...the stock 04 couldn't hold up to the Falkens lol
Here are some piqs of them

cool, my extra set of stock rims should be here Friday and the new BFG T/A drag radials should be here at the same time. I can't wait to get them mounted this weekend and see how much it helps.

got the BFG DR's on and went out for a test run. 20psi with the tires warm didn't do much better than the sticky street tires. I dropped the pressure to 17.5psi and it was hit or miss...some 1.9's and some 1.7's. I dropped it down to 15.5psi and every launch was a 1.70! The car spun every time but it was moving out pretty good.

conditions:

30psi on 93 octane
temp 55*
humidity 70%
time 4pm
empty tank

0-60 3.15
60' 1.70
1/8 7.32 @ 96.91
1/4 11.33 @ 125.1

well I think it's high time to upgrade my BR Deluxe FMIC, it's been a trooper but I suspect it might not be quite up to task for the amount of air I'm moving through it.

I just ordered the BR Race FMIC + LICP so it'll be interesting to see how that affects my tune/power on 93 octane.

thanks man, I'm glad you're finding it useful!

I just bought a Greddy Profec B Spec II, so I should get some results from the hi/low boost switch technique I'm planning to use on the street to keep it from spinning in first gear. Also it'll be interesting to see if I get to 30psi faster
