Default Finally got 3200 stall and shift kit installed

What's up f-body owners? Well, I got my vigilante 3200 and transgo shift kit installed in my car. Man, my ride feels like a damn beast!! It really woke the T/A up!!! I could of sworn it's a different car. Didn't even think it was mine. I noticed my exhaust sounding is different because the shift kit changed the way how my transmission shifts. I like the way it shifts and I can feel it kicks hard. Importantly, since the characteristics of the car has changed with the stall, I realized the car has to be handled differently. This my first time having a bigger stall so I am serious about being careful with my car.

I'm taking mine to the track soon. So what tires you had on your ride when you went to the track? I was thinking of Mickey T's ET streets.

Yes, I will get them soon. Can't wait. After a test launch with the current tires i have, I quickly realized I NEED tires that will hook. So the Mickey ETs is the answer. But under normal driving, how long the Mickey ETs will last before I have to dispose them?

I have BFG drag radials, and I think they lasted about 1000 miles and a lot of track passes..hah

I think I'm going to just put cheapo street tires on my 17x11 ZR1s and have some spare 17x9s ZR1s for drag radials(but still match on my car)...be cheaper in the long run and not have to worry about buying $200 drag radials every couple months...

It depends on what size tires you're ordering, because MT has two different tread patterns for their street radials.. But yeah that is one style.
