Hell yeah, man. Go with the Nittos. And those other ones are only $80 per tire? No wonder why they put them on there. Cheap bastards.

Guys put the 305 nittos on the 9" cobra wheels too. But either one will give you such better traction its not funny. I mean you have ridden in my car with them.

Nice. I've seen stock Eaton's push out a little over 500 to the wheels. Most of the guys get it ported and then do a little fine tuning and can hit real close to 600.

IF you got that Hellion kit I'd definitely have to come down there and take a ride.....just saying.....
