So does this mean that Silver is the FASTEST color?

No, right now the pipes come out straight. We had to move the pipes when he did the fuel cell.

Well hey they are not Hoosiers but they sure as hell were hookin. I got a couple 1.77 short times in a row on Sunday

FYI.......the tires are not screwed into the wheel and I marked both tires before I started racing and neither one moved an inch.

Jim @ JDM's truck

I was behind Jim during quallifying at FFW, when he launched i though the tire was comming through my windshield!!! His are screwed on but I couldn't believe how much they wrinkled up. Like more like a 33 gallon trashbag than a tire!!!!

Joe, what pressure ar you using in your ET Streets. Looks like about 13 lbs. I think the Truck-Traks are working.

Jay......proof is in the photo.....your Truck Traks dig in HARD!!!!

I love them!!!!!

As for the tire pressure. I start the day with them at 16psi cold. After my first pass they are at around 21 so I let them back down to 18.5psi. I keep them right at 18psi hot for the rest of the day.

My truck is NEVER shakey top end. I tried to lower my tire pressure down to like 14psi hot a few months ago and will never do that again.......kinda scary

Thumbs up Seems like Silver is the best hooking!! LOL




That is the back of one of my race shirts. That was a pic from March 02 right after the 28x10x16 Hoosiers came out...


You gota love those 1.6x's on a stock stall convertor, stock motor, stock blower, lol ....

Man those Cal Tracs work!!

But BTW the week before that I had the Truck Traks on and got high 1.6's and low 1.7's with the same mods....

1.6s?

Does everyone stage deep for these 1.6 60' times?

I'm desperately trying to get my beastie to hook and I think the our track (Pacific Raceways, aka SiR) just plain old sucks.

Deep staging would yield worse times.

Joe,

One thing to watch man. I see in the WFC4 pic your truck squats alot. Mine used to as well. You have Caltracs now right? If not look forward to some cracks in the paint from the Hoosier hiting the wheel well on a hard hook. Im not home, but let me see if I can find the pic. The Caltracs took away my squat problem.
