Default Shake down passes coming Sunday

I'll be racing at Winterport, Me. on Sunday to see what the car will do. Today I'm getting the 16" ET Streets mounted & dropping the front sway bar. I've nailed it a few times on the street, but the GSC's get overwhelmed through 4th gear. I know my shift light still works though... Last time at the track (Englishtown) on a spinning 1.74 60' the car went 7.50 in the 1/8th, so i'm pretty sure it will go 7.3 with a 1.6x short time. My best 60' so far has been a 1.64, but I'm quite sure I can go 1.5x if I hook it up. I'll let you guys know how I do.-Fred

the 26" et streets for stock rims? if so, they are not that great, my 315 drag radials hooked just as good.
but with your power a 1.5 should be no issue if tires are good.
good luck
