With Juans weight and his 60 ft time its going to be low 11s for sure, but I see him well into the mid 10s. I always like to under estamate (low 11s) just so I like the final results.

I knew it was 11s, but you removed your ET from your sig. 121 mph in auto is bad *** with a stock cam. Hey Juan I`m down to 3050 on a 1/4 tank now. That is not counting me in the car. For me all you do is add 160 lbs of solid muccle and about 55 lbs of fat.LOL

LOL That wrong Jeff. He might beat his car with a hammer, but you beat yours with the throttle. My son and I have never sceen your car at idle, only at wide open throttle. Hope the car's doing good Jeff.

Damn Jeff I`m sorry to hear that. I was just fugging with ya. My cell died a while back and I lost all my numbers. Hey you should see how much my car is cut up now. No resale value left in the car I can`t even trade it in if I wanted to but on the outside it still looks stock. I guess if I don`t die in it with a small fender bender I`ll just get burried in it when I die. Later Jeff

I prolly do lose a little power with them but not much. With my stock cam and bolt ons i was right next to a H/C/90/90/built motor/some weight reduction car on these mud tires.
I use 26's for the track. might have to upgrade to 28's with this cam though.

well, what i really meant, was whether they grip with that much power or just spin... since they are designed for gripping dirt.

Oh that.
yeah they suck *** for traction. i would spin them from a 60 roll with the stock cam. haven't even gotten on it with the Trex yet.
But i'm moving closer to my job this weekend so i might start rollin on som 30" MT drag radials.

Well I can not view these but I will soon be running my rex through the stock Z28 cat-back. I will get a vid made of that once I get it all together.
