Performance tire and wheel. The owners name is Rex. Hes a Vette owner and road racer. He has the latest Hunter alignment machine and road force balancer.
We have an alignment machine, but we're not using it at this time.

you could also try steve williams from lsxtune.com. he`s out of richmond. he helped me get my 79 c10 running and then tuned it. he`s great at troubleshooting and very good at tuning. if you go to his web site my truck and a few other vehicles are on his video page.
