Aaaah, that explains it! Last year I tried leaving at 2000 or so on my 16" radials, and it was hopping so badly I was pulling 2.6 60's. This year I was kinda babying my launch on the 17" radials, and getting the 2.3s. I don't powershift (which I know slows me down) but I'm a bit worried about breaking the T5.

Again, very very nice times, congrats!
