Well I talked to sal about it and he said he was using the American racing black steel wheels and they looked good to me so I ordered those last week. going to pick them up today, $48.00 a piece and 1.00 a lug nut i got them for. This will work for now I guess. I just need some slicks for the track big time, especially when I run the NOS. I want to blast out of the hole with a 100 shot on top of all the mods.

Spiro I checked out the wet kit from NX and it looks really nice to me, I talked to that guy down in texas and he gave me some really good prices on the EFI kit and the Genx2 kit. I going to go with that kit, so we'll see what happens. That won't be till after byron coming up though. I need to save about $1000.00 for the NOS and the gauges, pillar, and anything else. Speed is addicting. How did you like the PSP program, my four way chip is coming this week, can't wait to try it out with the 90mm over the old R9 superchip. BOOST!!!!!

Kevin this is who you think it is. JOE.

hey if your looking for tips on your truck, your at the right place. Just don't let anybody know whats going on with the truck and you can suprize allot of people on the street racing if you want. Next to pete that night, I had one of the fastest vehicles there, so think of the possiblitys for your ride. But I must warn you, it gets very addicting.

Hey I forgot what you changed your throttel body to. I want to stay away from swaping to the cobra's because of the fabrication that has to be done.

RTKiILLA, go with the 11.5's a 9" rim is optimum. If you go too small on the rim you lose contact area. 16x8's or 16x10's will work too. Lloyd

I run the 11.5s on American Racing Aluminium 16x10" wheels- with the flat footprint, by NOT bringing in the side wall, I can run my tires as low as 15 lbs pressure without a wiggle on the high end.

KILLA,

Both those size will fit without any problems, and many use them here with great results. I do believe that many are also using them on a 10 inch wide wheel as well, but I would prefer a 8 or 9 inch. For my ET drag's, I used 2 spare tire wheels, simple affordable and effective as well.

For this season, I will be running a taller tire on a 15 inch wheel. I have a set of 28 X 12.5 X 15 that I plan to use. The are actually 28.2 inches tall, and only has a tread width of 9.9 on this big tire.

Hope this helps
