watch the classifieds on here - especially your local section if your just looking for basic wheels for slicks or dr's plenty of people sell of their stock z28/ta wheels to get ss , vette ,aftermarket etc.. should be able to pick up a pair for under $100 , I just sold a pair of 93-97 z salad shooters for $50 locally on CL so CL is good too just make sure they will clear your brakes without rubbing.

Got my toyo tq's for 150 each and daily drive them. 5k miles so far and quite a few track passes with plenty of tread left. They really are an impressive tire.

If interested I've got 2 Camaro 5 spokes painted black I'd let go. Pm me about them.

Yeah I am trying to work out a deal with spicebird.. I am going to get some DR and do the founders LCA and panhard bar and see what that will do. That should make the car pull 1.9's

I think you'd be alot happier with a set of longtubes, you'd pick up et and mph. Sorry if this has been said already, but I didn't see them listed in your mod list.

I was going to do a set of LT's however I'm not sure i feel like putting them in. I heard it is a real pain in the butt. Also, id have to get retuned, I guess my other issue with it is if im already not effectively putting power to the pavement why make more power. I look at it like building a house build a house on a good solid foundation, you have a good stable house but build it on a bad one and the house can collapse.

Honestly it just seems like you might need a few more passes to learn how to get the car out with the newly found power. Seems like if you'd had cut the same 60fts as before you'd be .2-.3 tenths faster, which would be on par with picking up 30hp I believe. Thats where I'd start. I know how frustrating it is when you know the potential of a car but you can't seem to get everything lined up.

yeah I agree. The track prep at cecil that night was AWFUL as well. I had a few buddies who were running .3-.5 off of their normal 60ft times. The car should be capable of high 12's. It has been 13.1 before the tune. So 12's shouldn't be a problem at all. However, for 150 I can get LCA, relo brackets, and a panhard bar. So I think thats a no brainer to get then go down again.
