I'm thinking I might get a set of rear tires on 16" rims for the strip, smaller rims help when it comes to wheel hop, as it allows the tire to flex. Anyone try a run with the pcm re-flash yet?
My runs were with the L flash. Nest time, drop your rear tire pressure to 25psi. Try launching at about 4-4500rpm and use a bit of clutch slip.

I'll be honest, and tell you that I realy did try taking my cheasy HP digital cammera and take pictures of my run. But they turn out realy crappy. You can't even tell what the numbers say. So, I guess you'll just have to take my word for it. CJ
