I also achieved one of if not the fastest '60 times in the 2IS with a 1.7.

I used Hankook ventus evo12 k110 FULL BLOWN street tires at a well prep'd track, I usually would get a low 1.8. Do keep in mind I would run with no seats, a gutted trunk, and spray out of the hole.

If you want to go with DR's you can go with 17's.

Your gonna have to go with 17's and slicks if you want to spray out the hole. Trust me lol. My 12.0 pass was with me not spraying 1st gear. And when i hit the N20 in the beginning of second the car spun. I drove it out and settled for the night

Thanks for sending over a couple of pics to me this morning also. Should be up and running by this weekend. Nice to have a person on the forums willing to help out. The pics will make it a lot easier for me installing this weekend. Should shave some time off the install for me. When I take a trip to Florida I owe you a few drinks on me.

Regardless of what you use, fuel pressure safety switch is important when running a higher shots of nitrous. You'd be surprised how much your fuel pressure can drop when you add a line off of your fuel supply. The length and diameter of the line come into play. Without this safety feature, you run the risk of a very lean mixture which would result in a very bad and very expensive repair bill.

I've used the Ny-trex kits on my other vehicles and I'm currently installing a 200 shot setup on my SC400. Currently I'm rebuilding and upgrading the internals of my engine to handle that kind of power, so I don't have any install pics on this care yet. I ran approximately 100 bottles through my Scion TC with a 100 shot for a year and a half. My dyno on the nitrous was 273whp and 298wtq. Much improved over stock.
This shouldn't be an issue with the 2UR-GSE. You'll be tapping the low pressure fuel system and the port injectors are only used for mid-range rpm anyway. Tapping the fuel system for the direct injectors would be a very bad idea.

Ideally, something light and durable. You dont really need to spend much money on wheels if you dont want to. Just get something just wide enough to fit the tire you want. My 60' was a 2.117.
Here is the slip:

My car was parked at the shop for a few days because of this issue. Took the guys a little while to figure out a good place to source the fuel. I even pondered spraying strait methanol but i think ill let someone else try that out.
