V8's and Nitto 555R Drags
This is the perfect tire for your LT1, LS1 V8.
Got an opportunity to test them at the track, I got a good 2.0 60 ft.
Two thumbs up for the Nittos if you desire traction

They're not too much more than say a set of Kumho Supra 712's are they?

My performance modifications are exactly as follows:
-SLP Air lid
-MAF ported and descreened
-Free Ram Air
-Cutout exhaust
-Removed windshield washer reservoir, foglights, rear seats, interior hatch trim, spare tire and jack
-Of course the Nitto's
-Computer tuning LS1 unlimited by Combination Motorsports
-NGK TR-55 spark plugs (if this is a performance mod?)
-100 octane that night.
im making 314rwhp, and 324rwtq. i warmed up the nittos in the waterbox, set the PSI to 30, then brake torqued it to around 2100rpm before launching.
im going to see how low i can get my times by simply reducing the weight, yet keeping some of the interior.

Don't I have to warm-up the nitto's, since they are drag radials??

radials should never be warmed up it will actually make you lose traction
