Never done exact weather conditions back-to-back, but it was worth a good tenth combined with my ET Street Radials ;)

On a serious note Track Claw makes a wax for drag racing. I saw it the other day while i was picking up some tire prep.

Because it adds a minimum of 150hp while making near perfect aerodynamics? :)

what if it is like ported heads...might wanna have a slight mill finish for the air to flow over it better, instead of being polished...hmmmm

Everyone knows wax doesn't help....You need polish to make it go faster, not wax :bash:

I heard they put that on the space shuttle! Rule of thumb with stage IV aerospace wax/polish is its good for .5 BUT if you run german castrol oil with it 1 FULL SECOND! Good luck finding those items though as whenever they pop up on the shelves at autozone they get bought up rather quickly.
