Default Spraying with ET Streets

Is any body spraying with a stock converter and some ET STREETS, Also have a 3.73 pos. What is the most i can spray out the hole? I have only one stage NX kit. Running 8.50's now on my every day street tires, with a 125 shot. I just got some WELD RIMS 15 by 10's and 30x12.5 ET STREETS.

I had 16 inch ET streets on my truck and sprayed it out of the whole with a stock converter...It hauls *** but the cylinder pressure sure get high, and then after a few months of hard spraying means Kabooooooommmmmmmm....But it will haul *** if you do it right...With a small shot i would not worry about it to much....

I was gonna use Hyde's example, but I see he posted up. IMO, the pistons and internals in these engines suck and won't hold up long under heavy use. You can spray out of the hole, but I recommend above 2800. That's just my opinion though. You are talking wet shot aren't you?

It wont be easy getting 15" wheels to fit. It really depends on the wheel itself, and the internal diameter. I tried a set of 16" stock aluminum wheels off a pre 99 4x4. I couldn't get them on even after grinding and using 3/4 wheel spacers. But then I found a late 80s 16" GM steel wheel that fit. So who knows.
