Sled correct me if I'm wrong but u guys narrowed the rear but the tq arm location and control arm locations are still in the stock area,Correct?

Boy is that a smart way of adding a wider tire.
Your car is SERIOUSLY impressive..

Congrats,I see some 8.50's on the horizon.

people have been narrowing rears on F-bodys for a while. ask Joe K.

What ARE did was use the inside of the LCA mount to move them in an inch or two will still using the same hole. "stock mounting points"

Congrats that is awesome!!

Most people do not understand what it takes to get ANY car to run 8.70s@160+ let alone a car with a factory resleeved block, raceweight of 3250 pounds, stock GM PCM and stock style suspension setup!!

Well done guys. I had a good feeling about this weekend when I was hanging around watching you prep the cars

Did Barry run and how did he do?

I know the ARE car is going to get faster and faster. Good work, now get my car finished

I have a feeling Barry is going to go a lot quicker than 9.70 when everything is straightened out
