    How many think its possible on a stock suspension? We will be trying this as soon as the track is back open. Our previous best is a 1.51, 1.53, and 1.56. We have a couple of new tricks that we will be utilizing next time at the track and hope to get 1.4x 60ft times, 6.xx 1/8 mile and 10.xx 1/4 mile times.

    Absolutely possible. Unfortunately, I'm not the right set-up to be that guy.

    I might be the 10.xx guy, and maybe even a 6.xx guy, but I just don't have it to do a 1.4x 60 ft.

    BTW: On March 22, I'm lining up at the front and pushing Jeremy to the back of the line. that way if we both hit 10.xx, I'll be first!


    Bwaaaaa hahahahahahahah!!!!

    Also -it may be possible on stock suspension, but it'll be a heck of a lot easier on my suspension.

    I'll do all of it this year if the tranny, driveshaft, and differential hold.

    I wish my motor had been done for the Rumble. Might have eclipsed a couple of them. I'd been running at least a 150 shot. LOL

    I'll hit the 40's with no N20. I think I already mentioned this in another thread yesterday.

    I don't launch on bottle. It blows the DR's off.

    Are they the correct bolt pattern? Will they clear SRT brakes? And lastly . . . If yes to both questions, where can I get some?

    yes, and Yes, I have much larger brakes then a SRT. They were made specifically for my car and bolt pattern. They are 1 of 2 sets in the country.
    Call them up.

    They might do them a little cheaper now that they've got the cnc program done.

    Why such a heavy wheel? :whistle:

    Just kidding. I see your wheels are 10.8" wide. Mine only weigh 15 pounds, but they're only 9" wide.
