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....

that would be cool. They need to be 17's to clear the brakes on the SVT.
Let me know, thanks
