I agree with 93yelLE, on the tire pressure issue; I should've clarified that you should drop the tire pressure IF you're spinning out of the hole. But if you're not spinning leave it up; less rolling resistance is better. With a 5-spd you HAVE to drop the pressure so the sidewalls will wrinkle, otherwise you'll shock the tires too hard and they might spin. Too low of pressure, and the rim might hit the pavement and the tire would unload as the rim springs up. But your combination is mild so it's not really a concern especially with 10-inch wide slicks plus the fact that an AOD is'nt going to shock the tires as much during the launch.
