its Not cool when I ran a 8.31 and you ran a 8.33 and you got me by hole shot...It was a good race tho!

 

still pulled it off! my wheels and tires came in this week so hopefully my traction problem is fixed

 

What did you get?

 

Just rears for now... my finances didn't allow for skinnies this time around... Please excuse bad camera phone pics...

One more for giggles....

 

what size were the ones you were running??

 

mmm... they weren't mine. I had borrowed them from a friend (brandoz28). I think they are a 275/50 but couldn't tell you for sure. They are dead though.. maybe 3 passes left which is why I went with these.

Just want to send a HUGE shoutout to brandoz28 for getting my tires mounted for the low price for free.99

 

yeah, then my dad, alignment guy and I played catch with them total weight of 31.8 lbs each

 

fenton06...those wheels look really nice on your car. Just a heads up for you to get you saving for the skinnies. When I put skinnies on my car with no other changes I picked up 2 tenths in the 1/4 mile.

 

BCNUL8R what did you use for tires, i love your car btw

 

Thanks, I used mickey thompson drag radials on the rear and I think they were mickey thompson sportsmans on the front. I haven't saw my car in a while so I can't remember for sure. I do know that mickey thompson makes a couple different skinnies for the front one is DOT approved and one is not. I had the DOT approved ones and drove them on the street alot without any trouble.

 

yeah, I am saving for skinnies ATM. I am REALLY happy with the greg weld wheels. The ONLY gripe I have is that the center caps are plastic, but they look great. I just don't want to break one.

 

any idea when the GTO will be up and running again?

 

Damn all you guys have slicks, I'm stuck on 18's with hard *** street tires. The only good thing is that they haven't worn in two years haha. Best 60 ft I could pull was a bogged 2.1xx, any higher rpm and I would just spin.

 

How does the Uni-lug pattern work for you on those wheels?

 

You probably will not see my goat go down the track again until late 09, but when it's done it will be bad...I'm looking for over 700 rwhp on low boost.

 

Thats sweet, that would kill me to not have my car for that long, but patience is a good thing. Can't wait to hear progress. What kind of blower are you using?

 

a 2.1 60ft in your car is pretty good actually. That red firehawk from grinnell usually can only pull 2.0-2.1 60fts on 295 bfg drag radials so i wouldnt complain to much..

 

I don't want to get ahead of myself and I change my mind alot...lol...but the motor will be a 410 cubic inch iron block with AFR heads. My plan right now is a Procharger F1A, but I really just want to concentrate on the motor for now because I can always change my mind on the method of boost.

 

werks gud! Anything specific you would like to know?

 

Oh nothing specific really... I just wondered if the fitment was still as good as a normal pattern.

They look good, but I'd just be scared to leave off the trans brake with them. Guess that why I've got the weld magnums

How is my old bitchin' camaro coming along down there?

Brandon - I'm done with that third gen rear - when would you like me to bring it back? There's just not enough room in the garage with the 9" here now
