Default 4.40s here we come..New 388 done, New 12.5 wide custom wheels done!!!
My updates are done on the 388 from RPE performance race engines. See if this year we can get into the 4.40s in x275 trim, 3100 lbs and single 88 from Jose at forced induction. All my suspension from Midwest Chassis will def get us rolling. Exstreme Beadlocks and Chassis Fab built me a bad *** set of 12.5 wheels to stretch thpose 275 pro's out.

That's a bad machine, be interesting to see how the wheel/tire combo works out. I thought the 275 pros were wider, I know I couldn't fit them in.

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not. You might be surprised.
