Just got my new Slicks





I had the Hoosier Quick Time Pros which were DOT 26" is just to tall plus ya got to burn them out to heat them up. I gave AMS a call and they are running the Mickey Thompson Slicks which require no burnout to grab. We also found a way to lock up the ACD like a 4 wheel drive so it wont do front wheel burnouts than the rears would lock 2 sec later.

Very nice car. It sounds like it has a dog box in it and a sequential shifter in the video. It sounded like it made that dogbox clank when putting it into gear and then it downshifted after the run like a sequential shifter. You will like the ET streets. From what everyone says they are good for atleast a tenth on the 60ft.

yeah Hoosiers are pretty good up to a point, personally I liked the MT ET streets better which are a drag radial. I'm curious to see how the acd thing works out for you.. i like the fronts to spin a bit

Nah clutch is at Tilton this week and ive got the tranny apart putting in the evo 9 1st gear and input shaft. I overheated my input shaft

Ya know it cost me about $1000 a week to race between clutches and labor and parts...o and race gas
