Ceramic coating is what im def going with. I heard the same thing as well. Before on my Shearer stock replacement mani i had that coated and I noticed a difference. I plan on doing it all over in the next month or so.

I'd like to do a before and after but that is so much work and down time.

We gonna see 170mph traps out the junk box?
I will be out in April ready to rock Last season i wanted to be out in April but wasnt out till June. So this year im going to be 100 percent ready 8 sec pass and 170MPH trap is my goal. If not 170MPH traps, ill be happy with my 8 sec pass lol

I sure hope so man! Cant wait till April! Na im not trying to go after Devins record or anything. His car is amazing and it would take me a lot of work to get down to the 8.50s area haha not to mention about 200-300 more pounds of weight reduction. Im just going to be happy with a 8 sec pass. But i want to run 8s consistently when i go. I dont wanna be those people who run 8s once and then thats it. I wanna be consistent. Just like Devin and Emery. It will take some work, but i will be ready when the time comes

If i see 8s at 170 while im going down the track next you i might forget about driving lol I wasnt saying trying to take his records, i just meant give him some door to door racing down the track! and i have no doubts bud i think you will be 8s all day every day you go to the track. I think once you break into the 8s for the first time youll be fine PS ceramic wheel bearings might help

Man that would be great! I hope it happens! Oh no yea me and devin will do some door to door racing for sure. That will be pretty sick not going to lie. Like you said once you hit 8s, i think it is easier from there on. Not saying its going to be easy but i am up for the challenge! Ceramic wheeel bearings will definetly help. There around 2 grand and that makes me rethink hahahaha

I expect to see you win a couple of those races against Devin. U better get a good jump off the line to make up those 300 pounds Def not going to be easy but with how close you were last year, i think it will only be a matter of time before we will be celebrating 8s. ANd i know i wanted the ceramics too, but not enough $$ for them, putting it into the trans, special trans setup. ps more pics in my build thread if you want to see!

it has held up perfectly. i did it over the winter because the car is parked from the 1st snow fall to april.

the coating is Swain tech coatings. call for pricing. the coating i have is called white lightening. it truly works great
