Yes, it's next to the airport. The surface is nice and flat, it will tear the edges of the tires up a bit if you are aggressive. I have run several events and I'm trying to wear out my original tires so I can drive to the Fest on new rubber, I don't think I'm going to be able to do it. I'm looking for a set of stock takeoffs at a decent price if you hear of anything.

I think your stock tires would be fine for your first time, they do slide a bit and can't compare them to anything since that's all I have tried. I fill mine up to 40psi for the events to prevent them from folding over the rim. I would love to place a video camera under your car so we can see how much the new budging bought you. You can see the stock cradle bushings moving all over the place in my YouTube videos.

ya i took a look at some of yours, should be able to put the sways and trailing arms on this weekend. Since I'm doing bushings kit, should i just go ahead and get the end links as well, both front and rear or should i be good with rear for now?

I'm not too happy with my front end links, I need to try them one more time. You should be cool with the stock fronts unless you can get a good recommendation from someone.

The en links are really easy as is the the rear sway bar. The front sway is a pain to get out and in. Remember how you got it out so you can stick the new one back in the same way, it like one of those puzzles you get at Borders.

picked up my car today from newtech. currently im pushing 561hp,515tq. the car sounds like a beast. its impossible for me to keep it quiet....its pretty damm loud even at a stop light. I have to figure out some way to keep the sound down cause it will probably get me pulled over. Any ideas? maybe wrap my exhaust pipes or anything to lessen the drone? havent really stepped on it yet because its wet; got to 4k rpms in second and i lost traction....with traction control on! I'll be going down a couple pulley sizes and hopefully pull to 600hp. Nick suggested I go with Meth Injection and could easily pull above 650hp....not sure i want that at this point! I'm gunna try and get a couple vids this thursday if it dries up a bit!

NICE numbers!!
As far as exhaust, what are you running? I have LT's and the Magnaflow Street 2.5" and its barely louder than stock at idle, but at WOT it screams
