The psi on the tires are probably 35-40. Is that messing up my times also? I'm pretty sure I'll get 13's next time though. I was getting used to it more and more but I dont want to beat the living piss out of my car haha. It's gonna need a new clutch soon too, its making some weird noises.

street tires are just that... street tires... def. invest in a set of extra rear wheels to put a really good DR on or a slick.... but you might break stuff if you go with a slick and launch hard.... as far as drag radials go me and all my friends run the mt's... at JDM track day last year they had one lane for drs and slicks and the other for street tires.... they told all the guys with the nittos to go to the street tire lane....

thats a lot of psi in the rears and i would say its messing up your times but if you lower the psi a little the car should be fine....but if your having "weird noises" i would get that checked asap before beating the car on the 1/4....
