Rears are widened for sure the fronts I think are stock. Not sure on tire size.

What is your expectations and are you running 1/8th or 1/4?

275 45 17 front and 325 40 17 rear. Fronts are stock, rear are 10" wide. Hoping to trap low 7s maybe high 6s at close to 100. 1/8 mile, the closest 1/4 is another hour and a half away.

I have about 50% e85 in the tank right now, so I added 2 degrees of timing and might up the boost a little depending on what Mitch and Blake bring to the party....might have some awesome videos tomorrow night!

Haha, we will see Go ahead and try 30psi again, I might have to get into double digits to keep up

I really need to work on the rear suspension...after the 2" shackle drop the rear bounces all over the place. I need to weld some shock mounts for the passenger side on the axle and crossmember so I can move both shocks to the back...and may need shorter shocks anyway. Also need to trim or move up the bumpstop so it has more than an inch of travel.

Why not swap out the foam bumpstops for the little button poly bumpstops the lowered guys run?

or roger mentioned that you canscrew the bumpstop directly into the frame. you just cut the spot welds on the bracket holding it right now.
