yes I need some better tires and a 2 step
the car is daily driven and I am not going to turn it into a race car
the tires on the video were stock sized nittos DRs
the last 4 runs were with the 9 inch
on the last run i left at 5500 RPM with 13 PSI in the tires and you could hear them howling in protest but I got a 1.84 60 ft and it is a 6 speed
I am going to get some of the Mickey Thompsons soon I hope
I am also going to re-do the stock radiator and AC condenser to more straight up so I can change from pusher to puller fans and I am going to make my own front bumper/intercooler mount that is lighter to reduce some weight and helo flow though the intercooler also
may eventually put a tube front subframe under there as well
