Mike the old red car is running great. Im sure Cartek can give me a lot more ponys, but Im going to try and get the SS going next. Maybe next year for the vette.

same question as above. what size and brand tire, what stall and whats the launching technique. Are you locking the stall in 3rd at the track?

I'm looking to pick up some more time with some taller tires, and higher stall at the line.

I run a 28 X 12.5 X 16 ET Street DOT tire , It's a tight converter 32-3400 stall , and yes , I lock the converter in third at the track . My new turbo project should be fired up in a week or so , I'm itching to start racing again , real bad .
