Skip the nittos and go for some MT Drag Radials - leave @ 10-15psi off the ebrake  :rock:

That alone will get you close to an 11.99 if not a little quicker

I don't know about the ebrake, that could tear your backing plate out.

I guess it could happen - I never had an issue.....

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

With line lock and all long rear pads and S-10 rear wheel cylinders you can hold some silly RPM's on the line. I don't recommend the rear brake setup I have on a street car...cuz the arse end can come around on you in a panic situation...or on a damp or dusty road. Been there...done that.
Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don't last, but BAD GUYS do!

Happened to me in 5 pm traffic on a six lane Highway. 35 mph and I went around 2. 5 times and ended up in the center turn lane. They came off when I got home
