I never thought a wheelie could look dorky. That truck needs some regular sized tires up front, not those girly ones. They make it look like a T-Rex or something.

What is the weight difference. It cant be that much.

Toting the front tires is definitely NOT the best thing to do. This car was a friend's 514 cid Mustang. The front end came down, unloaded the rear tires, and the rest is history. BTW, the car had tags/insurance and ran low low 9's at 150+, and although he was running at a no-slip (heads-up) event, he supposedly ran 8.9x back in December.

Sounds like it would be a good vidio to watch, but nothing comes up.

Scream, any thoughts of a better flowing exhaust for the 5.7? Nothing wrong with keeping in quiet but one single little muffler has to be killing power.
