Default 1.895 ft times

307 RWHP. stage 3 stillen at that time. The stock factory converter. The car ran 13.0 at I- 41 speedway. The trackion was great off the line, the best I have ever seen. I now have a Pro Torque converter with a 3200 rpm stall and I will run my first 4 passes on the 19 inch set up and them switch my tires to the slicks and the skinney front tires. I got the weld 15 x 3.5 rims to fit the front by adding a 3 mm spacer. Total weight saving on the car for all 4 wheels is aproximently 62 lb. I have made a pulley change and now i should be at 317 RWHP. With this set up i am hoping to run 12.5's or better. I still have to install the line lock and then learn how to drive the car on slicks. The track we go to in Canada is not very good but i will post my times on June 25. I also have changed the gearing to 3.53 from the stock 3.3 gears. It gave me 2 tenths of a second diff, but does it ever pull hard in second gear. I had these gears in my 13.0 run.

you only needed 3mm spacers to fit 3.5 inch skinnies? what offset are the skinnies? i have been wanting to go with skinnies but i didnt want to experiment and find out i couldnt make them work either....
