If you do a search in ther rear ends section there is some discussion about it. I believe -2 is pretty standard for stret and strip driving. I'm still setting mine up (installing) and I'm not that far yet!

and nittos are hardly any better than a good rated street tire that gets 40,000 miles...... ET street radials , or atleast some BFGs...... and a 15 inch weld wheel with a 26X10.5 will help.... i run a 28 inch 12 inchs wide to hook my car and it still dont work on a WOT leave.....going ET drags this time with track bite on them bitches!

im sorry but im still a newb at f bodys but can you tell me the basics in getting it to hook? i cant get sub frame connecters because of my sts piping running along the subframs. also what wheel offset/spacing do i need?
We have several options available if you would like to give me a call here at the office and I can go over them with you .
