If you don't plan to do it competitively, which you seem to be more interested in drag racing. The Brembos are just holding you back from what you want to do.

I'd love to swap my brembos to the lsj brakes, but there is something deep down in me that can't bring myself to get rid of them...

Its really not that little. I couldn't get lower then a 12.1 on street tires and went 10.89 on slicks. That's a huge difference lol.

No, that does not help in my scenario, I was the same tune on both tires. I also did 12.71 on street tires and stock turbo and went 11.95 on the slicks. Its a big difference.

24.5x8.5x15. Obviously on lsj brakes. Just seen a couple vids of yours on youtube, looks like the car moves good.

They look slow in the vids but the logs show otherwise. But it still moves out. I'm going this Tuesday to the track to see if I can do anything good.
