I'm interested in what suspension changes you're going to have to make to make these tires work. You're making damn good power, just wondering how the stiffer sidewalls of a QTP will react with a hard hit from the 'brake/two step. Might take a little figuring out but I'm sure you'll get it nailed down and it'll fly though. If nothing else she'll look pretty

I think she'll have a sweet stance now. Skinny where shes needs to be, and a lil thick on the back side.

Next step is dial it in and figure out a path to some 1.50 60's.

You have enough power and tire there for some solid mid 1.4's.... Youve just gotta figure out what needs to be done between the engine and where that tire meets the pavement..

Looking for opinions. White letters in or out? I'm leaning towards in, maybe a cleaner look. Thoughts? Also the damn hoosiers are white on both sides. Any one ever try to remove that paint?

Sample shot

No white letters. We use brake cleaner on a rag to get the paint off
