Didn't realize Summit sold Global West products. That is the one I went with way back when.

I've heard from many racers about how horrible the Nitto NT555R's are. Most people compare the grip to a super soft street tire rather than a Drag Radial. From what I've heard they are a good DR if it's going on a daily driven street car because they have good treadwear and good street manners. However, if they're to be used as dedicated track tires then they would be the last set I'd consider

another question arose in my brain...so im gonna get the subframe connectors and wonder bar tonight, that way when i get my steering box welded i can get the subframe welded as well...so my car is not in tune and im gonna need tires

should i try to tune the car myself as is and get drag radials, or should i upgrade to a wideband o2 sensor and tune with that, and get drag radials later (still got 24 days till race season)

if i should go with a wideband, which one should i get and how would it get hooked up into the ecm?

how do these look? these would be cool cause they are already on rims

Me like AEM. Good price, easy to use. Yup yup

AEM sender doesn't like speedbumps though. Make a note of that. Laughing

AEM experience > Innovate experience

Less expensive and easier to setup and work with. Can't speak to customer service for AEM because I have never had to use it. With regard to Innovate customer service, I had purchased several innovate products but based on the way I was treated when I had a problem, I will never buy another innovate product.

so if i get the AEM wideband, i just hook that up and then datalog and watch the o2 gauge and base my tuning on the wideband until it reaches 14.7 or whatever it should be at

If he gets more than seven miles per gallon he will make money. Wink

12.8:1 WOT or richer.

He's new at tuning. Keep him in the safe zone. I never like to see 13's WOT. Get meaner engines and they don't like it.

Especially with something like an HSR which can be a full point difference between the front 2 cylinders and the rear 2.

He is payin me $200 to drive him home from portland, and he is paying my friend who gets 25mpg $100 to drive me down there

So basically, drive boss home and get a free wideband o2 sensor....works for me
