    Anybody running these tires

    Considering Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/Rs for the front or maybe even front and rear. Quite a bit more expensive than BFG Radial TAs but their sizing is better. Going to run Weld Dragstars 15X8 and 15X5. Trying to make it a true DD so I want to stay away from drag radials.

    Backspace question on Greg Weld's

    BTW, they have 15X8 w/5.5 BS for $99 too. I really wanted 15X10s (they only had them w/4.5 BS left:() but for less money than jegs/summit cast wheels it's tough to say no.

    Backspace question on Greg Weld's

    Will a Greg Weld Dragstar 15X5 w/ 3.5BS work upfront with minimal fit/brake issues. I'm running stock brakes not cobras. Option "b" is a 15X7 w/4.0 BS. Summit is blowing them out for $99!!

    A Catholic convert goes to make his first confession. Immediately after entering the confessional the priest ask him “How long is the line out there?” The convert replied “about twenty people or so” The priest then tells him “I’ll never make it. I was on a mission in Mexico last week...

    Heath Ledger found dead...

    If people who commit suicide would stop and think about how devastating it is on the people that love and care about them, most would never do it. My brother killed himself almost 20 years ago and my Mom is still haunted by it like it happened yesterday. My Dad finally got over it last...

    I got my new engine from RNH Performance

    Got my 331 (and the rest of the car) back from Rick about a week ago. Very happy so far. I was skeptical that the combo wouldn't be DD friendly but it has great street manners. Only got 110 miles on it and some little tweaks left. Thing I've noticed so far (keeping it under 4K RPM) is it...

    Thanks. The more I look at the hood the less I want to put pins in it. BTW your car in particular helped make the decision to go wingless.:hail2: Glad I did.:nice:

    Finally.......almost w/pics

    The no BS reason? I made the mistake of telling the engie builder that I wasn't in a hurry. After much waiting and patience on my end he upgraded the internals and did an internal balance for nothing. It was worth the wait.

    Finally.......almost w/pics

    I let 'er eat a little bit. I'm anxious to get 'er on the dyno especially for the torque number. She's pullin' hard in 5th gear from 2k rpm.

    Finally.......almost w/pics

    Working out the last couple of bugs but she’s running’ pretty strong. Gotta suffer through the break in period before I can really flog her but even under 4K the oomph is very noticeable. Here’s the list of mods….. Internally balanced 331, scat 9000 crank, forged probe and scat rods...
