Default Well I finally grew some ***** and ordered....

Some Summit Pro-stars and g-Force tires... lol

I told my wife I was wanting to race this year and I needed them for traction, and to be safe at the track.. ha ha.

I hope I got the right ones, ha that would suck.. I ordered the 15x8's with 5.5bs and the 15x4 with 1.75bs. I wanted to go 15x10's but I heard some people were having problems with fitment issues... Have any of you had that problem???

The reason I went with the g-Force tires, is becuase the MT's were on back order till the first of april. and I only have this up coming month to do any racing. So I chose those, hopefully they are a decent tire. We will see I guess.

I'm sure it will look awesome.

Hey how's the car since Ellis tuned it? Haven't heard back since you swapped the o2 sensor....or maybe I missed it. I bet it feels like you added a ton of power.

Yeah the car is running awesome. The only problem I am having right now, is if I drive it awhile, and go in the store, come back out and start it back up, it wants to die, and run like crap. But if I hold it at around 2,xxx rpms it seems to clear it out and run fine after that..

I keep holding off on the summit wheels. I'm hoping the Greg Weld BS gets sorted so I can order those instead, but I'm doubtful..... I'll only wait until mid april.

Lol thanks man, Yeah hopefully she will run low 12's.

I am going to take the front sway bar off, and maybe the rear seats. lol So it might be possible.

My old tranny does not like the new found power of this cam. Everytime I get on it, it goes into limp mode. lol. So hopefully tomorrow I will have the time to put my new tranny in... And rear suspension.

Those will look killer Lane. And I'm not sure about 8s, but with most 10s you have to run a 1/2" spacer & grind the nub on the caliper down a little. THe fronts should fit fine....

What size did you get in the g-force's??? The hoosier's would have been my first choice if the m/t's weren't available. They hook soooo nice.

As for grinding...you can ask Eric how long we grinded on mine. You definitely better grab a snickers.
