[QUOTE=steddy2112;2497564]what do you mean by bog the **** out of your car? like if i dumped it from 2k and eased on the gas to get max accel, its still WOT, am i being shitty?
[QUOTE=24SSNighthawk;2497634]You will know when you bog...you'll start to go and the car will kinda hic up...and fall on its face...and no if you do what you say you will launch pretty nicely.

There will be space...they will have one fuckfest of a time trying to get your tires on.
And Z, I wasn't referring to you man, right before lunch there was all kinds of stupid roaming amuck.
A tune with the 7k redline will help at the strip big time.
Also, practice launching without bogging the **** out of your car...you really have to roll onto the throttle...
gotcha.. wuts up with it when it launches hard and then bogs? i had it goin and it seemed like it was gonna be good and i didnt even move my foot and i felt like a loss in power and then it picked up. man that sucked. couple that in with missing second, made for an extremely unpleasing night..

I found that dumping the clutch can easily get you bad wheel hop on a sticky track (or if you have sticky tires). What I do is a slightly above idle roll out, then I hammer the gas.
About the 225/50/R17 tires........go with 225/45R17 instead as they will be the same overall height as your stock ones. You can easily fit a 225 on a 7" wide wheel......I've done it many, many times at my job.
About the shifter.......I personally don't think you're going to get much better with an aftermarket shifter the way you're describing your problems. You just have to learn how to get it in 2nd gear better. The stock shifter is actually pretty good compared to most cars.

Every tranny in every car is different, but wants to go in the next gear, just guide it, don't look for it.
lol, dealerships don't know a damn thing about tires and wheels. You need to go to a real tire/wheel shop. 225's on a 7" wide wheel isn't even close to the toughest tire/wheel combo I've mounted up. I get dealerships coming to our shop all the time wanting us to mount up difficult ones.
^^ Amen to that. First they tried to convince me they wouldn't work, then they tried to 'fit them' for about 3 hours. Then called me to say they couldn't, and when I picked the wheels up they'd scraped one of them to hell.
I made the tech come out and apologize to me then he LIED about the damage. That's pretty much when I stopped giving a sh*t about the warranty or dealership in general.
