if it were me id try to run the caltracs if i remember you went up to the track on the truck nationals with street tires get a good set of M/T slicks on a set of 15s and give it hell theres a lot of guys ripping off some good 60 fts with the caltracs.

but then again its your money and your truck so im not going to tell you what to do its in your hands a back halfed 4-link setup with that rearend you want would be some nice eye candy and hook like a ****

the e/t streets will help out alot with the 60ft times. Id try those then see if you are getting the times you are looking for before you spend the money on a 4-link plus ur truck will be down for awhile..

if you dropped the coin on the M9, I'd do the 4 link to go with it IMO, then you'd already be set for more hp down the road

I'm working on a new setup right now, but all had before was some 28x11.5x16 ET Streets on Tahoe wheels. Everything else was factory and I pulled a 1.66 60'. You can see my new setup in the projects section and theres a pic of the launch when the chassis was stock in the drag racing section.

I haven't posted any pics of the motor. It looks like **** with the harness laying all over the victor jr. I'm not real proud of the way it looks under the hood, but it works pretty good.
