Hush Grippy.. The only reason I'll blow past the 14s is because the Grey truck is getting a TURBO and the Radix is going on the blue truck. If it were turned around the grey truck would be stuck in the 14s.. Like you :p

Rollin20s. The slicks were 28x11.5x16 ET Streets on 16x8" Centerline Stingray IIIs.



Like I stated above though. The slicks helped but not as much as I had hoped. They performance flawlessly but my lil truck just doesn't have the power to get better than a 2.29 60'. It seriously would need a converter to do so. Then it would be NP as the power picks up HARD after it hits about 3000rpm. All that will be remedied soon though.

I was dead hooking on some of the runs. I was just power limited. You could totally feel the truck start pulling really hard once I hit about 3k or so. It was almost like getting into boost lol
