they prep the track when pretty good i was told. choda, mike@neweraperformance, gadgetized, and i think 1 or 2 more have been at that track racing. i was with choda one day and he just went by the water box and launched in 4wd and since his nnbs is electronic 4wd like yours, he switched it back to 2wd before he shifted out of first. i think mike@newera stays in 4wd the whole track but you would have to ask him. catch up with some of the guys i mentioned and im sure you will have some fun. unfortunately im moving out of the area next week so unless i come up on a weekend that i dont work i wont be able to enjoy any track time.

yeah thats true it was a blast. if i ever get time to come up again (moving to utica ny) ill have to come up and see your updated runs, daryl's new setup, and mike's new setup. i know your about to be a lot busier though. ya never know i may be needing a place to store my truck to work on some plans ive got coming up if things pan out.

You are not going to hook on radials in 2wd. Even if you leave the line at idle (no stalling at all) and roll in the throttle slowly once you hit over 2000 rpm you will blow the tires off just like you do on the street.

ya if I punch it from idle in 2wd with my Nitto 420s 285/50-20 It roasts them for a couple of sec then TQ management kicks in falls flat and then throws me back in the seat and takes off like a bat out of hell. no TC or Stabilitrac on

On stock radials I could only get 2.17- 2.23 60ft. With 28x12.5 ET Streets I was getting solid 1.9 60ft on a stock converter.
