water box with Nitto 555R's ?
 
for anyone with Nittos:
Do i need to use the waterbox for a burnout, or should i do one dry with the Nittos ?

thanks,
Dave

I use it for my nittos. roll in and stab it to get water all over the tire. then roll forward a little bit, and bake the ever loving crap outta them to get them hot. With nittos the key to have them really hot if you wanna hook well. after your smokey just roll to the line but whatever you do dont do a "dry hop" that often takes the best launch out of the freshly heated tire. once your at the line just wait for the last amber and punch it off idle. this method netted me consistent 1.8 60's with no traction devices at all just a couple weeks ago.:thumbsup:

no problem man :thumbsup: Just make sure you get them things hot. I normally did a burnout till the back half of the truck disappeard in smoke....may be a lil excessive but I was able to get the same burnout every time. Goodluck, have fun. Oh and make sure they spray fresh water down every time your about to go in the box...
