a good friend of mine had 100% OEM stock suspension, boltons, and a set of 26" et streets on stock TA wheels at stock weight going 11.20 on a 100 shot pulling 1.49 60' - he eventually bent his tq arm.

wow... well i'll be using drag radials, and 60's probably in the low 1.6's.... and probably will be low 12's so hopefully i wont bend mine.
so hooking it can work...........? thanks for the reply hopefully i'll be able to hook it up.

i'm just trying to see if i have hope of hooking this thing w/ out poppin' for new tires.

3500 stall with 2.5 STR here. 3.23's, 100% stock suspension and the rest of my mods are in my sig. Tires are M/T street radials 255/50/16 on the stock rims.
My 60's range from 1.69 to 1.80 with 1.71-1.74 being about average. I run 19-21 psi in the M/T's, do a five second burnout and I almost always dead hook. My best results are from reving between 2000 and 2500 rpm's and flooring it. But I have also had good success just flashing off idle. But I only do this towards the end of the night when my gas tank and air temps get low enough that I stopped dead hooking.
