Awww...Cmon Adam! tell us , tell us, tell us!

Im curious as to the potential on street tires, knowing full well that slicks can cut off more than 1 second. (They did on my S/C VR6.)

or email 'confused'

-Peace
If Adam wants to post his info, Ill get it then.

But, if it makes him feel better, when I supercharged (also with a 20 shot) my Jetta VR6 2 years ago with an almost identical setup as the Stillen kit, heres how my runs went (I also had a 300 lb stereo system in the trunk which didnt help matters):

Stock on street tires - 15.9@89 mph

First run with charger on street tires - 16.8@100 mph!!!
Second run with charger on street tires - 14.5@104 mph
Third (and final ever!) run on street tires - 14.4@105 mph

Then, I bolted a set of slicks on the next time out...and....

First run ever on slicks 13.2 @108 mph.

So, Adam should expect similar results since the vehicle types and superchargers are identical.
