Thanks, running 9psi since the spring of '03. I plan on doing a leak down test this weekend just to see where it's at. Hope to start on a new short block soon to turn up the boost.

It looks like those are 28s. What size are the rear tires?

The first picture makes them look monstrous. Are those ET Drags or Streets?

These are Streets. I think we'll give the MT ET Street Radials a try after a couple more outings to get a good baseline, looking at going with 275 x 60. We'll see if all the talk of radials picking up a couple of MPH is true.

Where are you at with your car??

My car is in even more pieces than last time. I've taken out 307.509699 pounds and still have quite a few more things to work on. All that's left in the car is the short block, trans, DS, and rear. I'm in the middle of painting, polishing, and porting a lot of items. Then, it's going back together. I kind of ran out of money to finish the interior and turbo setup. I'm going to be running it NA with half an interior for a while until I can afford the turbo, fuel, and safety parts.

He has strange drag brakes on the rear so there was no grinding involved.

I really don't want to go with 30" tall so that's where I came up with the 275s. I have 325s on my 69 Cougar and they look bad ***! I guess the good thing is they only require an 8" rim vs 10" and I will save $100 on my next set of rims.

I haven't touched the interior yet and if this thing doesn't get in the 10's you will see seats and carpet laying around the pits!!

Thanks Josh! I went to put the Procharger sticker on the front spoiler a couple of weeks ago and it was a little too wide, it's going on my truck. I am going to have a local sign shop duplicate one for the car. Thanks for your help on the parts!!
