Going From ym 17" TTMs to my stock 16x8 rims..
Last time i ran at the trick on my 17" TTMs with Nittos (street tire 315/35) i ran a 12.30 @ 115 with a 1.9 60'
Now this week i got my 16x8 alloy rims and i just ordered my M/T ET STREET RADIALS 26x10.5x16 (255/50/16)
i weighed my 16x8 5 star alloys. They weighed (rim itself) 18lbs 4oz. And i think the TTMs weigh (according to the wheel weights here on tech) The 17x9 weighs 24lbs and the 17x10.5 weighs 27lbs
hopefully with smaller wheels and little weight drop off i will be in the 11s

I went from TTM 17's to my 18" Ruff racing 280's and noticed a decent increase in acceleration and top end pull....
when I took off the TTM's and put on the ruff racings, their was a noticable weight different. My ttm's did have goodyear GS d3's in 315's on the rear tho and my ruff racings had 285's on the rear/275's on the front.
I havent been back to the track to confirm anything but with the TTM's I was trapping 116.

Going for another round tonight. Found a few bugs in the stock tune, the transmission was shifting softer than factory. Last week it ran 13.5@102 with just a lid and a catback. I am going to open the cutout and try flashing the converter this time around verse stalling it to 1200. Soon the real mods will begin.

You are pretty much stock besides a lid, tune and c/b....
I know nothing about convertors, so what does 'flashing the convertor' mean?
