And people keep telling me I need to switch to slicks.

**mustang8998** · 07-18-2009, 04:26 PM

Congrats to Johnny!

After being told he could run 325s, then when he shows up, they tell him "no way".

Awesome!

Thanks hauling some mail right there

**Timido** · 07-18-2009, 07:48 PM

Mickey Radials? Either way that is insane for SSO

**cstreu1026** · 07-18-2009, 07:58 PM

He is cutting mid 1.20 sixty foot times as well. Simply amazing!

**Rick93coupe** · 07-18-2009, 08:04 PM

The 275/60 is a wicked tire no doubt!

**Qtr milerocket** · 07-18-2009, 08:07 PM

Drag radials can hook to the tune of 6 and 7 second et's you just have to have the suspension underneath you to plant all that power.....Kolivas obviously does!!

Peace

and an awesome tune. Wonder if he tunes the launch on the MSD, the EFI, or both? Or do they allow standalone boost controllers in SSO?

**Timido** · 07-18-2009, 09:07 PM

Radial tires or not. 7.30s at 175 is impresive enough on a slick let alone a 275 radial. How about the 7.9x Jason Lee runs on 325 BFG radials That is IMPRESSIVE.

**Sharad** · 07-18-2009, 09:49 PM

it was 7.33 @ 195 on a 275/60-15 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial

**Hangingcogs** · 07-18-2009, 10:30 PM

Yeah I am pretty sure you can use a stand alone in SSO. I know he called on Monday and asked if he could run the 325. They said yes. He showed up and everyone was bitching about the tires. So it was determined that he wasn't allowed to run the tire.

Let the hater's hate! He's a bad man. Let's see what happens tomorrow.

He was selling his AMS 1000 not too long ago, so I'm pretty sure he's not using that anymore. If I had to guess, I'd guess he's running the dots.

That was an extra he had and didn't need any longer. Last time I talked to him he still ran the AMS. He runs a 7531 too. He can tune it any way he needs according to what's allowed, AMS, 7531, or the BS3. He's become a tuning mofo over the past couple of years. He originally used Job Spetter for his tuning but he's learned to do it on his own. He also tests more than anyone I know, with the exception of maybe Chris Tuten. His crew man, Jeff, is also very good with all aspects of that car. Very tough team. Just wait til he gets the twins on with the 315s.

Johnny K is a bad, bad man.

**Jeff88coupe** · 07-19-2009, 08:05 PM

John won SSO at the Superbowl...on the little 275/60 mt dr's. Man knows how to tune the dots for sure.

**Sharad** · 07-19-2009, 09:05 PM
