Message	I have ran a few times on street tires with horrible 60ft's 2.1, 2.2. At 15 psi I managed to trap 118. Now i have a set of slicks....Any tips on launching rpm, heat time on the tires, slip the clutch or dump? Its a 5spd, and im going to be running 26x11.50 ET Streets. I launched on a slick before but that was in my mustang....Hope this IRS holds ------------------------------------------------------------ Originally posted by BobbyT $20 says you don't own a set of wrenches but have a buddy with a Corolla who tells you every day how easy an Arby's swap would be. Plus how ill/sick/tite/pimp it would be, yo.
