Finally ordered the DR's
Finally ordered the DR's Title says it all, i ordered the BFG G-force drag radials 245/40/18's for my car, so when i go to norwalk next Friday i might have some chance at traction.
Hope to get the cam installed somwhere in between there too lol.
Anyone else try these tires on their regular rims yet?

Good luck.
Good luck.
But hopefully with some traction it should be in the low 13s somwhere in its current status. All i know is those rockers and stuff upped the low end grunt even more making it harder to launch on the street with regular wheels on the car.

Badd...why'd you get a tire so short, in comparison...is that normal for DR's (call me new).
Dave, he's got springs, rods, rockers, shift kit, CAI of some sort i believe, and new mufflers, iirc, and he's HPTuned. As you see above, the cam is on its way in.
Did i leave anything out?
There is a sticky for the spring/rod install, and the shift kit writeup is somewhere too.

Shorter tires need less distance to complete one revolution.
A visual might be a snowmobile / atv trailer tire. You tow your sled or atv 10 miles, say your tow vehicle tires are at least twice as large. Both tires went the same distance, but the trailer tires actually had more revolutions to go the same distance as the tow vehicle's.

Well we did a hand full of 60 mph runs, and the monte just walked away like a freight train!! so good luck!! Before they were dead even from that kinda roll or he would have a little bit better top end, where iwould get him down low before. That car trapped 103 last year to my 102. Now i put a car on it and going from 60-90. The rockers really work great! We only went from 1 35 mph roll and it did DS to 1st but then short shifts at 5500 at 35 to 40 so i didnt get best hit, and they were stuck side by side till 60 and the monte again just walked right on by like no other once above 4500 in 2nd.
Nobody makes a 50 series side wall 18" drag radial, so i had to go with a 40 series... no biggie.

i ran my buddy who has a cobalt ss with smallest pulley, intercooler, injectors, tune, header, 3 inch exhaust, pistons, ported supercharger, from a 30 roll and beat him. lol. and guess what he did. blew up his motor. there is a new problem with cobalt motors. the number 4 cylinder has a crack in a bunch of htem . gm has already warrentied a bunch of motors cuz of it. it just so happened the chunk of cylinder he broke off was in 4 so we warrentied it
