The stock wheels are sooo heavy.

Don't leave your large front wheels and use bias ply tires...your handling will be scary on the track. If you want the best gains, choose the lightest wheel possible...

Wheels will be between 800-1000.00 for rears only...but do NOT run just rear wheels. Call me if you need more assistance and I will be glad to work everything out for you. I don' t like to setup folks cars on the internet as each persons needs are different and quoting one persons setup may not work for someone else...this can get some folks confused as what really they shoudl be using to reach their goals.

Many guys see up to .2 second from changing to our drag wheels.

how much are rear bogarts for a F body. and should I run LS1 15" X 10 and 26" slick? would that be good for low 300 WHP? and how about low 400 WHP both with 3.73s

Thanks, I just wanna know more info.

I wanna get a good 60' way better than 1.78, which was my best with M/Ts
A good 60' is more than just a good tire. You suspension has a ton to do with it.
The 15x10 will be the last drag wheel you will need at least until you see single digits..

how is a road racing suspension restricting me so much from getting good times?

should I disconnect my front swaybar at the dragstrip, or no? is it really worth it?

I see lots of mention to a 26" tire. Can you fit a 28x10x15 under the stock F-body without it rubbing? I am trying to figure out what to get myself.

OK so I ordered the Bogarts I have 15X4 front and 15X9.75 rears, I just hope they are wide enough for when I get in the 10s or even lower.. if not maybe I should have went with 10.5s?

I plan on running full slicks on them 26X 10 or 10.5s

What's the build time on the Bogarts? Is it still 4-6 weeks?
