Lemmee tell you... you will never, ever, ever, ever use that kind of horsepower on the street in a Cobra. Whatever tires you have on there, when you stick the throttle, so that you don't break the tires loose much, but accelerate as fast as your total package allows, you can not do that safely for much time at all on the street. In fact, when you switch out the spring on your secondaries (which you mentioned you need to do in a previous post) you will be absolutely amazed at how difficult it is to safely open your secondaries fully on the street.
