probably just setup for all out street grip. Ive seen 555Rs used a lot on fronts of cars. There are better tires but they do work great for grip through turns. How slow was he running?

Added more pictures to my post. It's looking like it will be EF3 at least... I'm guessing EF4 with what limited info I have.

Between us three Hio has the edge. I probably make less power to the wheels compared to them. I would probably lose on purpose to Evan so I can hear his exhaust

My tune needs work. My Ls2 stroker is almost repaired...maybe this spring it will be in. F y Comp cams...

I ran it 4 times total, and with the trouble it was giving, I didn't want to push my luck and tear the tranny up, or bust the driveshaft 3 hrs away from home. The factory 2pc driveshaft is not meant to take this power level either, so I need to throw an aluminum 1pc in there if I want to continue.

Just played it on the safe side, and didn't have to worry about a $1000 tow bill 3 hrs home.
Im so glad I have towing on my car insurance, it has saved my *** several times due to breaking stuff. Only 12$ for the life of the policy too. Although no doubt Id end up having to pay part of a 3 hour towing bill. I can understand playing it safe

And you've never ran 11s what's your point ?

Your car is broken therefore it never ran by that logic .....

Love this look! I thought for a second, "Evan made his car look worth a darn" but then I read the post. Don't care what this ran at the strip, this is the way a Boss should sit and should be setup IMO. Slam it, throw big wheels and tires on it, and ride out! Looks great!

Youre right. I did it wrong... blower...slammed....big wheels. THATS how you should set a car up to go drag racing.....

It's your car, but that's the way I'd have set it up regardless of the track. The blower could be left off if you wanted, but this setup looks much better IMO. I love them slammed with big rubber.
