The 315/50/17 Street R's do hook. Actually going down from 4" pulley to 3.62" in spring.

Not at 800hp they don't. launch it on the 2 step at peak hp or torque , and see what happens. Instead of launching at the start of the power curve. If you don't break crap, you'll get nothing but tire smoke.

Yes but we do get the best E85 in the country. Most test out between E85-E87 throughout the year.
NICE now if only they had a dual hoot ecu so you could have a tune for the 91 swill, and another for the e85 . And not be "trusting" the flex fuel sensor, or forced to run e85 at all times.

No 2 step in my car, I'm not into breaking parts. It does hook well on my car. I will post a street video in the spring. The 305/35/19 NT555RII's spun through 5 gears, these 315/50/17's don't spin at all when warm.

That does not stop many.
true, but at that point, roll out the street sweeper and some pimp juice. Come on. hooking 800hp on the street on dot legal street tires, short sidewall ones to boot. not on your life.

You understand you are not making 800hp when you are launching the car at a lower than power peak. hooking 300hp isn't the same as hooking 800, so you are not hooking twice the factory hp.
If you're not spinning the tires at shift changes, your short shifting and not in the meat of the power curve peak. aka shifting at that 800hp peak while at WFO and power shifting it. put a shoe polish 3" wide stripe from rim lip to tread and point a gopro at it, then make a hard full power run WFO no short shifting and no slip'n the clutch to go easy on parts.

that goes along with every other NJ law the rest of the country doesn't have. Not going to lie, not getting out to pump it when its freezing out is nice.
The only place that wouldn’t let me pump my own in NJ were the stations on the turnpike. Everyone else knew to stay away. 👍

I've pumped my own here before at places where the attendant may have been tooo busy... the cops didn't come. .

Of course, but also understand that it's not spinning at all on the 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5 shifts at full power with these tires, unlike my 305/35/19 drag radials were. Who launches an A10 at 7500rpm?
