Been a very busy spring thus far. Replaced the full exhaust with a full 3' system from the headers back and added electric cut outs. Got the new wheels powder coated and mounted up with 275/60R15 Nittor 555R Drag Radials. Been doing alot of cleaning a detailing. Wne to have the car Dyno tuned found that the 750 Holley thats on the car is complete junk runs too lean during idle and leans way to far out under throttle so will be changing that out with a Holley Street Avenger 770 and also learned that the tourqe converter is was to tight and chocking the engine and drivetrain (runs 1000 rpm at idle and when in gears drops to only 45 rpm) So i am going to install a 2800-3200 stall converter. Heres some updated pictures of the car to see how she looks now. Loving every minute of this car.

Looks great. But curious. Why Nittos? I am purchasing dr's within the next month or so and would like some opinions. I pretty sure I know which one I want to go with but want to hear from others that have used other tires and why. Thanks!

Went with the Niito's for a few reason 1st was price and got more off by buying them on black friday. 2nd they have a been rated better in wet performance in case I get stuck in the rain and from what I have read drag radials in the rain are not great handling tires to begin with. 3rd I really like their tread pattern over the Mickeys
