Default should i bother?

well my cheap sumitomos got to the point where there was no tread whatsoever in the middle, and 2.2 60's were keeping me out of the 12's even with 116 mph traps spinning thru 3rd at half throttle...Anyway, i decided to get some BFG gforce 315 DR's from work for some traction...

By the next time i get to the track i'll have AFR 205's w/ G5X3 112 from LG with the FAST 90/90, boltons, and maybe a 125 shot...My rear is leaking a little bit from the pinion seal, but nothing major...

So i'm not sure if i want to just trailer it down with the duramax and blow the rear- maybe it'll hold- or just wait till next spring to get there...Still waiting on my tax return which is 3900$ so i'd be getting a 9" or 12 bolt with that when it comes...

well what do you guys think? and what kind of times should i expect?

Well my guess is you should expect a 60 foot time of 6+ seconds if the broken parts dont trip the lights ahead of you first.

Take the trailer either way...........

3 passes if you do a burnout to get them sticky and don't launch over 3500 rpm, one if you go over 4000.
