Thanks for the confirmation on tires, too. It'll be interesting to see how well the 555R2s stand-up on the street. Even after cleaning the ET Street SSs, I was still spinning the tires, starting 4th Gear, around 2000 RPMs. It wasn't much into a hit that the tires just started spinning, even in 80+ degrees ambient. Cooler temps' were worse.

Checked my logs and there was a 2F increase in trans fluid temp with the converter locking up in 6th gear vs 4th, 149F vs 147F, but the ambient temp was also higher 95F v 91F so that may have played a part too. Overall the increase in trans fluid temps appear to be negligible. Both of these logs were 20 minutes of city driving.
