Lol. We'll see. Working on the next engine now. 434 built for an F1X-12 direct drive. Going to be a season or two though. I have plenty to do already and I'll most likely max out my F1A-94 first. I just don't know how long this aluminum LS1 block is going to last. I could see Darth going crazy with a proline motor lol. I got nothing for that.

And for C6's, the guys with the independent rears that are the fastest run 26's due to gearing for the track. There's nothing available for gears. So it is the norm for them to use tire size to help gearing. But they also do 15" conversions to get some sidewall which helps for the smaller diameter tire.

 

You can "say it" but I can say I can beat you all day everyday with a 28..... LOL

 

we can say what ever we want. Sure 28s are easier to get down the track with. But people dont run them for same reason people stay na over boost. I have 28" 275x60x15 pros on my car now. Keeping them on the wheels, will be comparing them to 26x10x15 et drags soon. If it does nothing for me I'll go back to the 28s but my last combo was a solid tenth quicker on 275x50x15 et street r tires vs 275x60x15 pro radials.
it liked the extra gearing, same as now. My 427 wants rpm so if I can hook,it should run better on 26"

 

Lol. You guys should all come to US41 in Morocco, IN in April (4/24). Bunch of LS1tech guys and some locals. Really see how these builds stack up. This will be the 4th year for the rental. And before anybody says it's too far we have had Florida guys come and a group of guys drove 30 Hours from Canada too.


Either way 26's ftw lol

 

I'm off that weekend. What's the details?

 

Rental is on a Friday and then Saturday the track runs backwards for a street style event. It's a lot of fun. The track is nice n sticky for the rental and and DA has been really good every year.

US 41 Dragway Morocco IN 4/24

 

Your TransAm is badass. I'll say it. LOL. Seriously nice car man

 

Hmmm....

 

12hours and 7 minutes for me too

 

I shooda built my turbo car first...im quite sure even with a DR, i d be slowest guy there,lol...

 

Nah there's cars all over the place there. Definitely some slow mustangs lol

 

I have a fb group online with more details and vids of cads etc. I'll make a thread in srk section soon I've just been lazy. Pm me if you want a link or need any info. Track is very chill too.

 

Thanks man. I really do appreciate that! I'm not trying to stir the pot on this tire deal but from someone who thought the same exact thing about 26's on my car for years and years, and then finally listened to someone, I sure as hell wish I would have listened sooner! Sure you can make anything work but in the long run when you try a 28 you will honestly never look back....especially on the street. Just sayin'.....

 

You're not stirring the pot at all. I notice sometimes when you post, it's like nobody responds. Many times it's because you made a good point. So I made it a point to respond. And look, I'm the first to admit I'm a mediocre driver at best, so I don't claim to know how to make the car work. I'm good on the motor. So I don't get upset at all about the thread getting sidetracked.

I'll bring it back when I post the start up vid.

 

Can't wait man I can't wait!!

 

I think you can squeeze a 29" in there if you cut the plastic rear bumper skin and also some sheetmetal under it, and move the rear axle back using your adjustable lca's about 1/4" or maybe a little more will be needed for a 29". I did that with my 28's and it def looks like a 29" would work safely (just) without having to modify the front of the 1/4 panels. If you end up needing all the traction you can get , may as well go straight to a 29" but then you might also need to change rear axle ratio.

 

28" inch tires and 4.30 gears seems to be what Tusky like to call "milk and cookies".

 

Man **** these make your own wire kits. It like trying for force a 82 year old pecker into a 22 year old *** without viagra. I lost two evenings screwing with these effing things. At this point it would be faster to have ordered them already made from firecore.

For real, car would be running.

You know why the videos never actually show you getting the boot onto the wire??? I do.

 

Did you try spitting on it?

 

Lol!

I think he used all types of lube already. They are a pain in the ***
