Default Bit off more than i can chew!!!!

Just got my frost tune put back in the car and was itching to find something to run, finally lined up with what the guy said was a stock 2013 5.0, We went from a dig and he had me by more by a car till about 95mph. Im on 18" street tires and i spun pretty bad, i wasnt to disappointed being that all i have is a 3800 stall and a few other bolt on`s. But Im dwelling on the loss now, i need bigs cause i just wanna go fast:-(:-(:-(

Yeah i keep telling myself tires may of made it a bit closer, some 15 black rts with some mt drag radials are definitely the next mod, no need for a cam if all I'm gonna do is sit there and spin.

Would probably make a huge difference depending on how hard you spun.

The op's car blows the tires off from a dig pretty bad. I rode in it before he got it tuned and the tires would literally go up in smoke when he got on it from a dig. BTW Mr. 5.3 polished street lites>black RTS on som in my opinion, but you already knew I was going to say that lol.

Polished with clear corners to match. There's a member on here with a SOM and polished street lites, it looks amazing.

Black wheels on a SOM car hands down. I have been wanting to run a stock one for a while. But your story has scared me away from trying for now.lol
