Think something was wrong with the hemi though. She had intake, exhaust, headers, 4.10's, a cam and custom tuning. Even with slicks she couldnt get out of the 9's. And i was trapping 2-5 mph faster. Didnt seem right for what she had done to it.

Gonna look into some stickier tires and rims to put em on. Any suggestions? Smallest rim I can use is a 18" on my tundra. could use some help from some of you that know a thing or two about tires. 2.1 and 2.2 60' times aren't gonna cut it.
Was the Rumble Bee Yellow? If so it was probably Sandy.

As for traction I would try the CalTracs. I am 2wd and can cut low 1.8's all day long and even a few 1.7's. I use the MT 28x11.5x16.

The NT05R's are great. On put some on my brothers 2010 Camaro and even on the 200 shot(800tq & 650rwhp) it hooks up on the street and track. Have ran a best of 10.9 with a slipping tranny.

Yeah the rumble bee was sandy . But if you see her burn the tires you can see why she does not hook ! She barely gets them turning then stops and slowly creeps to stage !
