    Haha! Yeah it had those new tires on it now. Regardless how wide a street tire, it has no weight so grip. Slicks are the only option for traction, even in camaros

    Damn is it the MT drag radials??? or ET's??? Cause I think I'm going to ditch my nitto drag radials cause they aren't hooking that good.

    The details of the dyno session will consist of 3 things.

    1) Power!
    2) Fire!
    3) Rodney loosing hair because of FIRE!

    The end!


    PS: this will all get caught on film.

    Soon soon! Just got to get the IC ordered and installed then will head to a dyno and see what numbers we can put down. It will not be as high as I want it considering JDM cams and I have not upgraded to the MapECU 3 yet but should for sure be some good numbers.
