thanks guys for explaining the use of the tranny blanket.

 

get some videos

 

He may need full cage

 

I wish my truck was fast enough that I needed a roll cage.

 

Call me silly but I can't wait to see pics of it on the 18s. LOL

I was trying to decide on a nice daily driver rim for the rear but I couldn't come up with a size that would fit a DR. What is the height on those tires Jim?

 

Those are boyd timeless 6's right if so those are the rims I have wnated for forever just havent gotten the funds together for that yet.

 

screw that, I want to see all 4 DR's wrinkled and smoking

looks like the Eagle versions of the boyds... a great deal, because most people can't tell the difference, yet half the price.

 

does this mean your not going to be doing 1/8 mile burnouts anymore with those nice tires??????

 

Once you get it up and running dont drive it too fast Jim, some people here think its bad and may lock your videos, even if its within site rules.

Anyway, are you still running the T-88 or back to the 76?

 

i remember that thread and that was discused. didn't that thread get undeleted?

yes, t88 , i just got it on there and never got to dyno it or push it hard at all. i can't want to get into tuning that monster.

the rims are the eagle's. something like $900 shiped for all 4 with nuts and stems. 6" bs

the tires are only 28.7" tall. i am running 31" tires now. these will look silly and might even have that south of the border syle to it. if they stick like i hope i will lower the truck so it looks good. if they dont stick then i will keep the rims but get some taller street tires for them.

i dont plan on geting a full cage if i dont have to. i am prety sure my local track would let me get by going a ways into the 9's with just the roll bar.

the tranny blanket wont keep the track clean. it is there to keep parts from flying thru the cab and killing me.

i expect something to break with the new tires and turbo. i think it will be the rear before the front. should be start a poll?

tranny and motor are all fresh, input shaft is cryo treated and i am not going to keep it locked thru the shifts. stock heads still with cometics. head lifting and blown head gaskets may be a problem soon.
