Netted 1.48-1.5 60ft's nearly lifting the fronts with a 100 shot

I found that running 14" rims 8" wide with M/T wrinkle walls, added anywhere from 1 to 1.5 second gain in ET. Over street radials.

in other words it got faster times, not slower...

By running slicks you ran a slower time ? what was the height of the slick ?

I reduced my time good probally half a second by runnign 275/50/15 DR's over my stock 14" wheels and tires

this is what I know, from drag racing for 8 years, a 1.5 second 60 foot time means you run mids 12s and pull mid 7s. in the 1/8

I am calling you BS, becAUSE THE OTHER DAY YOU WAS hoping TO GET INTO MID 14S WITH YOUr 100 SHOT...


what a joke, my stock port stock intake cone filter is faster than that, with out DRs.

scan your slips and show us, please.
