Good luck finding wheels to fit over SVT brakes that'll take a set of slicks....Thought about some NT555s?

There is a guy selling some on FJ, though....

No offense... but, buying slicks for a 15 sec car is 100% pointless.

Drop the pressure in your regular tires and that will be good enough.

Yeah droping your tire pressure would be good enough. Your doing the 1/4 i'm guessing.

N20?

I wouldn't run slicks with a stock diff, and clutch. You would want to dump the clutch at 6000+ rpm's to take full advantage of the slicks. Find some drag radials. Have you ran it with your street tires yet?

When did you add a high aftermarket boost option or a large nitrous shot?

You car will not break 15's. I say that in the nicest way possible.

Mid-13's needs a minimum 200whp, Aftermarket Diff/Clutch, and very sticky tires....

Let me know, thanks
