Back to the track with lighter wheels AND......
....and the lighter wheels didn't do a damn thing. I mean, nothing. Don't get me wrong, I looked damn good while doing nothing though.
I made a boost only run and it was within a few hundreds of a second of my other all boost pass on the OEM 20s. Ah, well.
You know what does make a difference? Nitrous. Sweet, sweet nitrous.
Armed with good temps and a brand new set of 325/30/19 drag radials...I went back to Atco.
I had the 100 shot jets in and the ramp was like this:
39% @ 2800rpm and up to 100% 3.8 seconds later. The breakdown:
60' 1.676
330' 4.546
1/8 6.885 @ 104.94
1000' 8.888
1/4 10.57 @ 134.18
Car loves nitrous and I am pretty confident that I can hit the tires a little harder and quicker this thing will go at least a 10.4x
Another fun fact, the car did 0-60 in 2.97 seconds too

YES!! I did see that - get them break in miles in, I am DYING to hear your R vs. SVR review. I too, have been tempted by the SVR - but have really been on the fence...probably same things that ran through your head before buying - basically is the overall performance that much better than what I (or you) currently have in the V8S or R.
I'll PM you a few pics too

In a straight line...it's got the same motor with a stronger tune and slightly quicker shifts due to the TCU recalibration, so I don't honestly think that it could be any quicker than the R other than the weight savings.

cbroth - sounds like a pretty awesome ride Yeah, I was looking at weight compared to my '14 V8S vert. Looks like if I opted for the carbon roof and Ceramic brakes, I'd be almost 300lbs lighter than my '14.
Jag - ugh...NO! It was killing me. I really thought with the lighter wheels it'd be just enough to get me into the 10s on boost. But the car ran almost identical as it did before...within hundredths of a second. Not sure I want to keep trying for a 10 on boost. It's just too much fun on spray, maybe it'll see a 9.99 yet with a bigger shot of course

Jag - haha....thanks man. I can make anything look baller on IG I love the Soarer's / SC300's. I use to have an old SC300 5spd that was MINT. Should've never sold it...it was slow was *****, but it was great. 1JZ is a solid motor, you can get into alot of fun with that too
Mr. Awd - No problem at all. Normally, I'd say don't even bother drag racing on street tires...but...if you have an awd R - eh, give it a shot. Not even sure you can do a burnout in the awd car, can you??
let's see, I use mickey thompson drag radials @ 24psi cold with a fairly substantial burnout and they dead hook at the track.
I leave just off idle. As in, just a tiny bit of pre-load on the drive train and totally off the brake and WOT. If you're on stock ECU, you need to do that for sure - there are no gains trying to brake torque the car - it will fight you at the launch.
Leave in 1st gear / Dynamic / Sport and let the car shift. I've tried shifting it myself and the car can do it better.
