26X10.5" and decent rear camber is more than enough-If you heat them up good, and you will because you have those awesome line locks Cars run well into single digit ET's with drag radials....

I have to also revisit my DR's for IDRC those I probably will have to go wider, I have 275/50/15 BFG's right now, thinking of also getting MT DR's maybe 295?

yeah man, i have the revisions somewhere. its 9.99 you need an 8 point but i know you need the roof forward bars, then both door bars.

i will have pics of my NHRA certified 8 point maybe tomorrow, i am waiting on mazworx to finish the welding.

you need some level5 axles from DriveShaftShop (Sponsor) and be done with it. then you could run some real tires. ET drags get some sick times..

my car will be up and running in less than three weeks, i hate having to wait on other people but you gotta do what you gotta do....

you also need some nitrous to get out of the hole a little faster, let me know, i can set you up with that for sure..

i am planning on sub 1.4s, yanking both fronts, trapping 140s... thats my goal before the end of the year...

of course my TH400, transbrake, and 2 step will help out a lot...

Nitrous kicks *** I miss it

well, i am just lucky, i really dont have that much invested into it, long long story, if you do a search for Project SWAP you will see. i lucked out into a great deal on someones fully built motor . then once i got everything running after i swapped the motors, i started to get some great sponsors, as soon as everything is back running again(i still have to run the fuel lines for the fuel cell and wait on the welding on the cage to be finished) should be less than three weeks, well hopefully i will pick up some more sponsors. i have been drag racing for years and know what its capable of, i aim my goals realistically but could be a little better or a little worse. we will see!! 20-24 PSI, 150-200 direct port nitrous should be crazy!! i will keep pushing it till i get there. like i said though, i will either have lots of aluminum/cast iron pieces everywhere or one FAST A$$ car...

You live really close to me. Any chance I could get a ride one of these days? Your choice of venue, I don't want you to take any wild risks getting tickets.

Shoot me a PM if you get the chance

I'm guessing that's where his methanol injection taps in.
