Get rid of a BUNCH of rotating mass. Weight reduction while putting more power to the ground (it isn't lost due to the rotating mass).

Run about 10.5 psi and that sucker will HOOK!

Then tourque converter.

You'll be cracking that camaro regularly!

Oh and switch to some NOS solenoids and pull the screens.
I was dead tired last night. I can`t believe I wrote tenths. 8 hundredths that is all. I ran a 12.092 and he ran a 12.036 I believe that is hundredths. I think with my good bottle he will see a difference. I bought a used bottle and it had a medical valve on it,that was leaking. Yes rotational mass is what needs to go. I missed out on some nice Greg welds and skinnies. Oh well.... I got time,I am not that old,only 44 yrs now.



Dead Tired.I have been plumbing , sprinklers . I had to dig up everything in the sprinkler box and replace everything.All because the siphon was leaking. Now wiring, I hate wiring.

That is your baby , I would not even think about it. That is one crazy fast car you got. I just love watching it go down the track.

What size Bogarts? Would I need spacers for these? I have been looking at the ET streets not the drag radials. Are these good or are you talking about a full slick.

You shouldn't need spacers. You may need to message the callipers a bit with a grinder. I had to do a little. Of course that is when they first started making them. The 15' wheels are just a little tight but they work great.

You'll also need to relocate the sway bar (BMR has a kit for this) it's not a big expense at all.

I'm talking about the DOT approved slicks. Some people call them cheater slicks.

looking-11-anything-672-3755.jpg

Note the little bit of tread that makes them legal. These are bias tires...not radial. You don't want to be running all over town on these. However, they will let you swap wheels and tires at the house and drive to the track.

Yea these are the ones I have been looking at. I called Bogart`s and they were closed Sunday. I will problably here from them today. Do you have the ones that look like a star. 15 inch wheels are going to help. I am looking at some used wheels also. Just need to find out what I am looking for. (Bolt pattern , and back spacing ect..) How wide do I need up front,4.5 inch.?
