Default Spent a couple more dollars

Slicks,caltracs & adjustable shocks. Hopefully I can get some better 60'



I really didn't think they were that big. Ds vs caltrac


Installed on truck


Can't wait to see what happens.. Like to cut a 1.70 60'

Somewhat, it does stay straight, but it spins the about the same. Maybe 30% better traction. On the 2-3 shift it jumps forward instead of barking the tires

A 9.5" converter would do wonders for your truck with the new traction aids...

Thanks Charlie, I'm with y'all on the converter, but I've been thinking about a 80e here lately so I might just hold off till I decide, or the 60 decides for me lol

Im getting ready to do that same set up, but i might scratch the slicks and do MT drag radials first. I wish i had your 1.77 , my fastest is 2.03 spinning bad. doing the 80e swap this month with a circle d multidisk 3000 for the 80. What do you think going from 8.30 at 87/12.80 at 111 2.03 60ft to 1.70s get me?

I had really good luck with my M&H dr's. Just want to see what the Hoosier will do.
I'd say at less a 12.2 or better really hard to tell being your changing transmission.
