Arrow My plans for the summer/track

Hey guys its getting warm and Im going to start getting my car ready to go to the drag track on sundays. Of course im n/a so im not expecting miracles but Im looking to make the best of what I have. This is what i have lined up, let me know what you think:

1) switch to 4.10 lsd from s4 gxl w/ synthetic oil

2) install RA omp adapter and driectly inject 2-stroke

3) flush coolant and run distilled water w/ Redline water wetter

4) switch from 10w30 to 20w50

5) 100 -125 shot wet nitrous setup w/ fogger tapped into my intake elbow

6) Falken RT 615 225/50 for the street and drag slicks (not sure which brand) on my FD wheels for track days

7) I am also going to tune my safcii on a really hot day to make sure the tune will perform on blistering track days

My goal is high 13's but I may end up using a bigger shot to achieve this.

Shouldn't you be working? =P

Don't use water wetter, it eats coolant seals.

While I don't have first hand experience with that claim, I was about to put it in my car at my tuner's shop (Dave/KDRotary) when he stopped me and promptly said, "Don't use that stuff, it eats coolant seals."

I'm going to err on the side of caution, I'm going to run Evans instead when I get my new radiator.
