Well my front springs have been heated to lower the front,which help ga ve me that raked stance and a better launch.If I would put half the effort in some good coilovers I could run better on street tires,maybe later but not now.

Holy carp Walter, that thing is getting very fast.
If you want a cheap and sticky tire check out the Falken Azenis Sport. They do not last very long but they are cheap and ultra sticky and street legal.

Sounds like you've done what you can afford to get better traction. Upgrade to stickier rubber like the Falken Azenis Sport that Matt recommended and you should be all set...

That is damn quick 109MPH whoo i wish my car could do that in the 1/4.
Aculley the largest benifit from lower the car would be a reduction in weight transfer from front to rear, from the lower center of graviety, not becasue of less lean. If you do the caculation it would be only be about 5-10 pounds transfred due to the body lean, but it would be in the hundreds pounds of transfered weight from the center of graviety. Thats why alot of RWD cars have there ass in the air, to increase weight transfer, to the rear.
