No problem, we need to get an Alero into the 12s lol

Just a couple suggestions on those:

At the end of the track, don't hit the brakes immediately, let it coast down some first -- they're great for launching, but not as good for stopping (like a road tire)

Start high on the tire pressure, maybe 17-18 psi, then drop down a psi or so if you get too much spin. You want a little bit of spin. Even with some overspin, they should still dig in and get you under 2.1 60 ft.

But too little pressure, and you can get a devastating wheel hop, and that can shake the front end and slow you down.

edit: Also, they are "directional" (!)

Most of this you already know, but I just want you to be safe out there, buddy.
