As you can see with Prays tires they are very close to touching the fenders on the launch and his car is stock ride height.

Ah that makes sense then. Mike and I have discussed custom coating options too... Good deal.

The RS lugs are tight, and in my experience it's a bad idea to use an impact for the first couple of on/offs. I always suggest to customers they put some oil or lube on the studs for the first time.

I tell folks to put wheel on, get lugs going, and go 'round and 'round.

Wow I thought torque on these were supposed to be ~90?

ULTRAZLS1 · 03-24-2017, 12:45 PM

Well damn I better tighten them up a little more this year lol

mustangcrusher1 · 03-24-2017, 01:58 PM

are all race star wheel for the 6th gen uni lug or are they direct drill?

DapperDan · 03-24-2017, 02:39 PM

Called Summit they had no problems sending me 2 hub centric rings and some washers so that's cool. Ok so back to picking you guys brains.when you get a tire monitor light on ,does it affect any other functions like speed or rpm ,traction control or launch control ? I don't wanna drive to the strip with the light on and then not be able to go over 30mph or 2000rpm or some crap like that...not worried about launch and traction control not gonna use em at the strip anyways ,Also do any of you guys know that part# for the TPMS sensors?

SS TPMS is 13598787.

Make sure it is the SS sensor if you get them, they are SS specific.

FYI - I bought a set of sensors for my winter tires and discovered the mounting hardware wasn't included (seal, collar, cap). Kit 13507403 contains parts to install four.

6.00 and the tire says it is 28" tall but it's not when it's on the car. It is right at 27".

DapperDan · 03-25-2017, 08:06 PM

Thanks I've never really knew much about the DA stuff until I started reading about it on here I just knew you didn't run as well the hotter it got. So what should my expectations be with a full drag pack and 0 DA ?

Totally stock with 17" drag pack and skinnies in the front ?

If so in zero DA should be good for 11.8-12.0

But it's hard to compare tracks even with the same DA some are just faster than others.

My car ran 11.80 in around zero da with drag pack cai and ptb with my 250lb ass in the seat. My 11.68 run was -400 DA and the low fuel light on.

In crazy negative DA with nothing but a drag pack and a small driver I believe these cars are capable of about 11.5. Much more and I'd have a hard time believing it.
