I'm mostly impressed by your back to back identical down to the 1000ths of a second 60 ft times. That's tough to do in a stick shift on any tire!

Thanx Grease Monkey, ya the one thing I've been able to do with the DR's and the street tires is run constant times. with the DR's I was always within hundredths of a second of 12.4X and speeds almost identical at 12.4, 12.4. Yes the rims and tires are noticeably lighter although I have not weighed them I should have! Next time the DR's go on I will weigh them versus stock, DR and new rims.
Like I said earlier I come off the line between 2000 and 2500 ease clutch off (not to slow just enough to keep tires spin down) then hold the gas petal to the floor through the traps.I always shift as soon as it hits 5000rpm then with reaction time delay Im probably in the next gear around 5400ish. Yesterday was the first time I had to hit 4th due to revs so again DA was huge factor.
