first run at track ever with a motor pass i pulled a 1.81 on my et street radials. they hooked hard i gotta left harder on motor but was just seeing how it went down the track. then i put the slicks on and cut a 1.6 on the bottle. i would have kept the radials but there too much to waste at the track when i got a set of slicks. but there 29.50x9x15 et drags and they even hook on the street hard i can leave 20 feet out on the bottle.

and tru-trac for the win!!

alright well good info guys. I think I may just run some radials for the time being to take it easier on the G80 and just get some sort of traction. Then again we'll find out how bad traction is today

the et streets pull while leaving 2 light marks for 100 or so feet on motor and the m/t drag radials leave maybe 20 feet of very light marks but this is not stalling it up cause then they are both useless or to me they are but my converter flashes very high .

haha, correct John, we buttoned up the swap at 1230pm when we fired it up

had a rear main seal leak, as I presumed but my dad and I got it taken care of a couple hrs ago. Needs tuned BAD.

haha, maybe I can get that name changed.... will my post count, etc get carried over?
