You don't really need nittos to hit 12's. I went 12.8@109 on Firstone Sz 50's(1.98 60ft) I had the regular bolt-ons(4.10's for the gears) minus LT's and that was with stock suspension(no sway bar) and I have the slow 96-98 cobras. -Mark

All it took was a pair of nittos and a 75 shot for my dog ass 98 to get into the 12s. So, getting one of these 4Vs should be a piece of cake!

I wish the track was open on Thurs.
i think theres a used 3:55 back there too but that won't help much. get the 4.30 but i think it may suck to roll race with it. but you do what you got to do, i guess

Hey Will, I have a K & N filter for the stock airbox just sitting around that has only been used for 100 miles or so. If it doesn't have one, lemme know and it's yours for cheap.
