these wheels are heavy. Im looking into some 22" centerlines right now do you think theyll make a difference? Im in the prossess of making my own cold air intake and I got a hold of some E-fans off a vette with the pigtails. I just need the controller from flex-a-lite. should this help some? again thanks guys.

I believe the Spiral Forged 22" Centerlines weigh 27lbs/ea. The 20's weigh 23lbs/ea. A stock 16" Aluminum wheel is about 20lbs/ea or so.

I htink alot of your problem isn't the wheels though, it's the altitude and overall effective DA.

yeah, but theyll look better.LOL That night there was a ECSB 4x4 that ran a 18.5 1/4 mile. my friend has a 97 camaro that did 12.7 with a 100 shot of juice. could I have a shitty truck or a messed up ECU? How does a 100 shot of Juice sound with some headers, cat back duals, and a tune. This thing has to be quicker.

Did you not read my post? Your DA was probably shot to all hell and you'll never run like the rest of us in that kind of altitude. A 97 camaro with a 100 shot only running a 12.7? An ECSB 4x4 running 18.5 when it should be running mid to low 16s? How much more evidence do you need?
