Why would there be drag radials on the front wheels? You can buy a brand new set of skinnies and some 165r radials new for that price. 15x3.5" draglites are 115 per wheel, and the tires are around 40-60 a piece. You don't have to run spacers if you are willing to grind the calipers a little. It definately looks better with the wheel tucked in more.

I was wondering that too, but I think she means that there is very little tread depth to them. My Welds have M/T's on the fronts also which is why they were more $$. M/T's are a bit pricey (plus I added in mounting/balancing/valve stems.) Better to not chinz out on tire quality when your running full speed at the strip. Kristen, are they already mounted and balanced? Are they new or used? What size rim/tire? I had my setup listed in the "for sale" section a while back. I wanted $850 for everything but it didn't seem like anyone was interested at the time. Kinda changed my mind since then cuz I'm thinking I might have to bust them out again... ;)

umm i would invest in some adjustable shocks

you can set the right rear shock stiffer then the left to help stop body twist and get a striaght lanch and set the front shocks to nothing so all the wieght goes to the back of the car

Second.... change NOTHING! Learn the car/ nitrous. That is the biggest thing that will make a difference. Sooooo many people want you to change tire/ suspension.... Personaly, I want to see you get some more practice on that car.

Yes, it's all in the 60 ft.... I've gone 1.5's on 3:23's n stock cam and 100 shot.... but I knwo my car soooooo damn well.

Just get more track time.... you will lern the car and how to read the track.... and the 60's wil drop... and ET's follow [img]smile.gif[/img]
