Jucostud · August 3rd, 2009, 01:28 AM

Not bad for the first time. Drag radials will help u a lot. Did u go to crandall?

petyweestraw · August 3rd, 2009, 01:34 AM

yes.me and rafa from dfwstangs.by the way clutch is fine.4 back to back runs with rafa just over heated things a bit.The last run the car was fine.need to get some track wheels and Drs now.im thinking 18 by 10 with 305s

Jucostud · August 3rd, 2009, 01:46 AM

I went out there with Ralph last week. If u are gonna go and buy new wheels, u should look at getting 15's... Not 18's. I already made that mistake.

petyweestraw · August 3rd, 2009, 01:53 AM

what do you mean?can you get 15s in 10 wide or is that over doing it?

NastyFX4 · August 3rd, 2009, 02:03 AM

Yes. There are people with GT500s running 11.5" wide wheels.

Jucostud · August 3rd, 2009, 02:30 AM

U don't need a 15x10... 275/60/15's would be perfect on a 15x8

2006GTARPD3 · August 3rd, 2009, 08:34 AM

With some huge bogarts on the back...mmmmm

07stanggt · August 3rd, 2009, 09:39 AM

congrats on getting to the track.

If you are interested in some stock 17 inch bullits for the track i can sell you some DR's mounted on my stock 17s. New tires shipped mounted and balanced.

tbi0904 · August 3rd, 2009, 12:37 PM

I could never get a sub 2 second 60ft time on my Goodyear's...2.17 was the best I got. Not too bad. DR's will help tremendously. What rpm's were you shifting at? Powershifting?

15s on the rear would work but why buy 15s and have to run 17s up front???? that looks dorky.
