That awesome number, i just hope to get those result next year with the new set-up and no detonation this time. Do you use the stock gtx turbo cause you posted on erdt that you boosted at 19psi and i always heard that the max effiency of the turbo would be 15psi.

i am not using the stock VJ20 turbo its a upgraded ball baring turbo. T3 compresser with the stock exhaust housing bored out. it will max out at about 27psi. but any thing over 19 spins the tires to much through 3rd gear. so it still has alot of power left i just have to try to get it to the ground.

DiscountTireDirect.com had the 555r in 205-55-14s. They were $92.00 each and shipping was free. They have three dist. centers, mine had to come out of Texas since Ohio was out of stock. Delivery took 3-4 days.
I'm so anxious to go to the track tomorrow and get this bia down the track on the radials!
