I have a feeling that at 1000rwhp the 5-10lbs will not be recognized!

Here are some more pics as it sit's now. Still some cleanup to do. Just glad it's at this point. We don't have much spare time.

My track/ bead lock wheels have them. The new mt's over heat on the dyno. So I have street/dyno tires.

Over heat? Spinning?

Friction causes them to ball up. We got about 6 800+ hp passes before they would spin. Then you have to burn them on the street to clean them off.

We also pull it up to 180 -200mph on the dyno too which doesn't help.
