Nittos at track today
 

I did horribly today. I didn't do enough of a burnout and continually spun off the line. I also had them at 25 psi. My quickest 60' was 2.071 in 80 degree weather. The last run (mid 50s) I used 18 psi and roasted them pretty good and got 2.109. I need more practice with the drag radials because on street radials my 60' were about the same or slightly better.

Also, I think that the shift between 2-3 is too late at 5500-5700. It feels like it's not pulling anymore at this point. Time to get it on the dyno and rechipped.

I had almost the same results with my Nitto's my first time at the track. Maybe when some of the newness wears off they'll hook better.

My Nitto's spun like hell untill they broke in and bam I started to pull 1.80's and thats good for a stick car.

I hope that you guys are right. I haven't gotten any better than 2.10 out of mine either and their starting to show quite a bit of wear.

The next time out, I would roast them pretty good on the first burnout. Once the newness wears off of them, you should be able to see a difference.

I have finally started getting decent 60' times (1.9x) on my nittos. I finally tried airing them down to 12psi, roasting the piss out of 'em, and launching at 2400 rpm.
Mine are down to the wear bars in the center... Wish I would have figured out how to launch on them sooner http://216.59.112.100/interactive/msgboard/wink.gif
