Yeah - she's ran it a few times. Best run was a 13.7 1/4 and 8.8 1/8th. That was with the mods listed, but no nitrous. She's still learning, but she enjoys it. Makes a couple passes then heads to the stands and reads her Martha Stewart magazine.

I couldn't agree more. That is why the Camaro has TA WS6 seats in it now. My back couldn't handle any more road trips to Dallas with the stock Camaro seats.
Its running great, love the highway pull with the 3:73's, and from a stop on Nitto 315 drags ( the ones you brought me ) it blows the tires off like it did on regular street tires.

something about that lower back area on the camaro seat is horrible, it hit me in the lower back and I couldnt stand it, much less the rest of the seat is just pure ****.

Mods to the TBSS are electric fans, modified air intake, tune, ported throttle body, cat-back exhaust. The nitrous is almost finished...going to run it off a window switch so all she has to do is stab the pedal.
Hell yeah, better watch out she's gonna start liking it and be takin off your truck lol

Yeah - it's all about balance. Gotta make sure you're not spending too much time on the project and not enough time with your wife/girlfriend. Keep her happy and she'll be more supportive. The truck was a sore point for awhile. Definitely had to learn the hard way.

Well I ordered new Toyo TQ's today they will be in thursday and on the car, so ill be ready then except I go out of state for the coming two weeks, i'll be home on weekends briefly between flights so if there is something coming up I could probably still make it.

Omega, how bad are yours? I have my nitto drags on the car now that the center is bald but the outsides have a little left so they are "useable"... oh wait mine are 315's your on 275's arent you?

Damn in the 40's? Ill have to get on their website and see when they actually close.

Well yeah technically they will go on, but I highly doubt they are any better than what you got, they are pretty worn. My plans with them may have changed, I may be kinda putting them to use. So if I dont ill let you know and see if you still want them, oh if you want them for daily use I wouldnt do it, they are gonna hydroplane real bad.

Were you just gonna use them on the track? Do you have a extra set of wheels?
