Should have talked to me. I have a brand new one I got last year that I didnt install on my Shelby. Would have cut a decent deal on it. Has the 2 step and WOT shifting. I guess if anyone else is looking for one, hit me up.

Nah, but we do have turbo Fbombs that will be representing.

Ahh gotcha, didn't know you knew Chase. Too bad to hear about him and the accident. People were ripping him a new one on some bs forum in the boonies of Nebraska.

I saw a lot of that drama on Facebook. I can see where some of it comes from but most seems to be driven by jealousy. Whole lot of people on there that need to worry more about their own lives and less about his.

Would the lesser rotating weight of the 26 be more beneficial or the greater sidewall and one less gear change of the 28 inch be better?
Run the shorter of the two, if you add more power and don't anticipate changing rear gears, your trap speed will increase anywho. Shorter tire=shorter gearing=mo' quicka' (typically).

Supra's are nutty. My buddies went 199mph last year. Non of us that ran last year ran this year. Seems many were disappointed with their traps this year. Weather was no good.

Any F-body bros looking for a mid range sub setup? Sold the TA, so have my Stealth box, JL Audio 10" sub, and Rockford Fosgate Prime 250W mono amp FS. Just needs a cable kit to install.

Currently using it off a spare power supply and connected to my computer LOL.

Will do $225 FL/GA and $250 shipped anywhere else for SRK peeps .
