Posted by: slowmkviii

Posted by: driller

As for times, the one weekend was SSHS9 in Atlanta and I think the best there was 13.3 something. The next weekend was in Maryland at the SSOTN Fall Nationals and the best there was 13.4 something. No new best ETs yet.

Just about every bolt-on available plus heads/cams. Still needs tuned for the latest mods though.

After Atlanta, I had found the Hoosiers were wasted, so I had to run in MD with the MT drag radials I had on a spare set of 10 spokes, hence the different wheels and probably the reason for the slower times.

All those mods to the car and you can't afford a set of hubcaps for the front? You could seal the front rims with duck tape and that would make the car more aerodynamic.

Just a hint to help you get into the 12's N/A.

Hubcaps, LOL...

I'll pass. The front spare wheels are, ummm... temporary.

I plan on a hub swap and hopefully score a set of wheels for some slicks and skinnies.

I am still kicking myself often for SCRAPPING THREE of those aluminum front spares... STUPID...

Good Gawd that thing launches nice!!! Still on the factory IRS I take it? Hows it holding up? Also I assume you car coil spring converted?

Anyway, looks good!! I'd be proud of those pictures!!

I do have delrin bushings to go in with the hub swap and brake upgrade, but for now the rear IRS bushings are all stock.

Pinion brace, differential cover brace, RSTB, RTLB and subframe braces with poly differential bushings help support the factory IRS.

The rear shocks are currently Bilsteins with the modified mount. I plan to put on a set of Koni adjustables with poly bushings.

The rear sway bar is a 1-1/4" Addco with poly bushings and the short rear sway bar links.

Are you still planning to modify and use that spare IRS you picked up a while back, driller?

They weren't all aluminum. Test them with a magnet.

I searched for months to get a pair of aluminum ones.

I'll probably end up selling the ones I have after the hub-swap/brake upgrade.

Posted by: Stangman

Makes me wonder if mine is aluminum... do they look different at all? like spokes? or ??

BTW, are you still running the dummy tires?? lol

Posted by: driller

They look the same.

Dummy tires? LOL

The front tires are 5.50x16 Dunlop vintage racing tires.

Dunno if they look much different.

For reference, here's some pics of mine which definitely IS aluminum.
