Not as much as you would like to think. Sounds to me like I only need to drop a few #'s and pick up a few ponies.

It's all good. Those 9.5 wide vette wheels are heavy and the steel 15x8's that the 30 inch tall slicks were on were really heavy. I'm looking into a drag setup also but the rears will be bolted to a Ford 9 inch. No more rolling it off the line. Lol

Got the rear 15x10 Race Stars on with BFG Drag Radials, I love these things! Will be getting the fronts next paycheck hopefully but these go pretty well with my stockers. No grinding, although the left one did grind on some of the wheel weights.

Thanks, I ordered them from Jim's Racing tires Got them both for $418 Free shipping and accessories.

I might go to track once or twice but now I can actually do low rolls

That sounds like a good price. I was wondering about them since they dont require grinding (or very very little if they do) for some stickies when the time comes. Ready to lift the fronts again, especially when the new setup gets finished

Thanks and those are too expensive it'll be like $338 for new wheels and I'm going to get street tires. I'm assuming it's the Hoosiers that make it that expensive and then I'd have to pay for shipping.

Default Need a fuel pump

Bought a Walbro 255 for a project. An 04 5.3 into an 81 vette. This pump only puts out 14 lbs for some reason. I need 57 lbs. Does anyone have a good inline fuel pump or know where I can buy one in Shreveport/Bossier? I would like to hear the motor run and this is all I need! Darrel 422-2742

Are you using a aftermarket external regulator? Check the fuel filter? Voltage going to the pump? Cracked Fuel Lines?

Is it a low pressure pump? Maybe for a carb application?

It's the fuel regulator, 81's are carb so you need another regulator, 14lbs are on par with that yr.

No worries....you're there. Once you get the launch on those figured out, you're probably mid 12s.

I like the race stars. But my favorite is the Bogarts. Chris A used to have some. I REALLY like them with the 17 inch front runners
