Because it's a street car and street cars don't run slicks
I run 28 x 9 MT ET Drags on the street all the time. In fact, they've been on all summer

Grumpy runs so fast because he has indexed & cut spark plugs.
He also has the brakes set up for "no drag" when the brake pedal is released.
The wheel alignment is also set with the front of the car up in the air like its going down the track. Toe-in with the nose of the car up is just dragging the tires down the track.
The headers have been drilled out on the bottom side so they can be ported where they are welded to the "log" and then re-welded back up with a plug.
The front wheel bearings have been loosened to eliminate drag.
The rear end carrier and pinion bearings been loosened so they don't have any "drag" on them also.
EVERYTHING that flows air has been ported and gasket matched PERFECT for maximum airflow.
Grumpy,
I must have hit the nail on the head with my last post since you haven't denied anything on my list as being not done to Melissa's car.

same here, Hoosier quick time pro...they see the street all the time. When it's running that is...hehe
we took off the turbo line so we could get MORE !!! who needs a MAP sensor

couldn't be bothered
EVERYTHING that flows air has been ported and gasket matched PERFECT for maximum airflow.
don't know about perfect BUT a lot of care went into the motor.. not something slapped together to give it a "whirl" to run faster .. have a RJC power plate to handle air flow
ya have to remember .. I am very lazy .. drive the car everyday so "playing with the suspension is out .. hell we just have stock replacement control arms .. now as far as the brakes...after the BS we went threw in BG as long as they are workin ya leave them the hell alone

Why are you so reluctant to post how much boost you guys were running?
