Thanks!
Oh yeah yes they are 16 x 10's

Hopefully these will get the job done and M&H will definitely get my future business as they are top notch to deal with.

I did get a brand new set of MHD-11's setup as a backup plan, this set with screws so no more rim slippage.
With the new slicks and trans refresh I might be able to shave off a few more tenths. Hell, I might be able to get this pig into the 11's on a good hook and bringing in the N20 a bit earlier.....

Dunno, I will know if there are tires waiting for me when I get home. If no tires then all I will be able to report on is the MHD-11s. Of course, that is what I would recommend anyway.

So after arriving at 10 AM and several hours to get setup I finally got to run my LB7 on just diesel for a shakedown run on the new trans. I had to wait a little bit for that pass but not too bad in the staging lanes. I got paired up with a Dodge Neon SRT-4. The track prep was terrible. The lanes were greasy and not hooking well at all. I had the slicks aired down pretty good and heated them well but it did not help. I pulled a crappy 2.10 60' and trapped with a 13.0 @ 108 
but I still wasted the SRT-4. 
Then I ran a shakedown pass on the LLY with just the Predator 100 tune. Same traction problems, 2.16 60' and trapped with a 14.3 @ 97.2. Then the wife did her first ever run with me riding shotgun. She did great, even handled the burnout well. Same traction problems, she pulled a 2.19 60' and trapped with a 14.4 @ 96.7 MPH. :ro) I have no complaints about the SC V trannies and the wife had a perma-grin from her run!
We had to wait 3 hours in the staging lanes to make that pass together.
The track prep was terrible and cars were breaking left and right oiling down the track. There were also two cars that smacked the left wall and got totaled. The whole event was totally disorganized and borderline dangerous with the track conditions. I am seriously considering never running at Commerce again with such shitty management. 
A whole day with only three runs and never even touched the nitrous.
I did not get the new Nostalgias from Tom for this race but even if I had the bad track prep would have skewed anything I could tell you about them anyway. I was happy with how the new MHD-11s felt on my truck running with screws, at least there will be no more rim slippage. They ran true and were stable too, even without balancing them.Anyway, I will try to get to a good track soon and give you a better report. FWIW I really thing that the Nostalgia slick will run better on a 16x12 rim. I am going to order that size rim and try that for the new setup. Sorry for the lame news!

I like the new M/T drag street tire I have put 1.64 60' down with no problem and I drive them on the street only thing bad is that they are only 26" tall.That is what everyone around here is going to.
