what is the best one out of all the nine inch setups to run with my engine setup. 383 lt4 with 16psi and 4l80. i have heard the locker is the best. but then i hear otherwise. please shoot me some advice

 

how bad is it to cut out your bumpstop like that? how necessary is the bumpstop on these cars?

 

eibach pro-kit, full umi rear suspension, moser 9inch with a strange center and a tru-trac carrier 3.89 gears

 

not bad just get a grinder and put on a cut off wheel and get to town.... just have extra cutoff wheels...

 

The detroit locker is the way to go with a 9". I know people who have broken most of the other set ups. But be ready for some noises because they are not quiet.

 

i dont mind my spool at all aside from slow tight turns, but hey i have power steering i agree not the best for the tires, but no 'clunkiness' in the rear, ever.

 

too late, but an FYI......the kuhmo v710 is NOT a drag race tire at all. its an autox/track tire. very, very stiff sidewall, which is not what you want for drag racing, and probably why you had trouble hooking with them. theyre made for cornering, not launching.

what is the hoosier tire called, that you bought. is it their drag slick....and i assume not an A6 or R6?

 

i want to run a 345 35 r18 it is same thread and width. but it is 27.5 inch tall instead of 25.5 like yours. do you think i can cut like yours and i will be fine?

 

should and u will have to BFH the hell out of the inner fenders... and if u have an air hammer with a flat end it will save the arm pain lol


and my hoosiers are just there dot drag radials 17335 is there part number...

 

so hieght wise i should be fine? idc about hammer that is fine. but hieght is all i am consered with i guess

 

X2! I have the exact same tire(335/35/17) with the white Hoosier letters out also plus my cars white so looks killer IMO!

 

looks good...the letters look fine imo

 

OH YEAH. GOT THE HOOSIERS. these ******* things are soft. lol. understand the traction issue may be solved

 

it would have been solved if you picked an actual drag tire in the first place

 

I had a old pair of 315/35/17 auto x tires on my old car and they would smoke like crazy. They were so old and hard as hell it took them forever to get them sticky. We put them on my friends mustang and he did a burnout up my whole block. That was the last of them.

 

woo hoo fixed my tire shake.. was spinning the rim in the tire.. if u used these i suggest using permatex HIGH TAK gasket adhesive on the beads... spray it on and set the beads.. and they will not move any more... DO NOT LUBE THE BEAD WHEN INSTALLING THE TIRES..... they will spin on the rim....

 

theyre made to last only 1 season. even if theyre stored correctly, theyll still harden up. theyre not drag tires.

 

ive always loved the look of the hoosiers with the white letters.

 

Holy mother of rubber batman. I need a change of pants

 

im just wondering...is it absolutely necessary tocut out the bump stops with these tires or did you just do that so the rear end would drop all the way when you lift the car up? i know with my 18" 315 BFGs i didnt have to hammer anything or cut anything at all but when i lift my car i cannot take the rear wheels off unless i am jacking it up on th rear end itself cause otherwise the wheels get stuck on my bump stops...
