(that was a Waldo's cheers, of course, well, or Bells.)

martin was open almost all year i ran it last year the way its setup ran 11.8 at 133mph i was super feathering the hole shot being a stick car on stock drive line haha. i was pulling like 2.3's in the 60 but didnt wanna break anything with driveline parts being so backed up.

this year ill let it eat on some slicks now that i have the driveline to hold it haha.

Ever get to kzoo in the summer months hit me up. we do alot of camaro meets on a facebook page called Kalamazoo camaro's

The baseline on my car with pump gas in it. i would assume low to mid 700's on E85. Let the tear down begin. shooting for 1,000 to the tires on the new setup.

my car hooked up pretty well considering i am currently on a street tire.

i am going to set it up with a full BMR drag race setup and run around on TOYO R888r radials im not expecting it to hook super super well from a dig on the street for sure but should hook decent through 2nd gear i am hoping haha.

Might as well do the 15” kit. You’re already paying labor for the rest of the suspension and axles. It will cost you double when you decide to do it later.

i just HATE the way they look haha.

Idk i need to think about it for sure.

Do you know anything about the kit? i am assuming someone sells a complete package for this?

i agree....while there is the benefit of the 15"...it doesn't out weigh the look. I don't even like the look of the 17"s in the front....went with 20x8 welds up front instead.

i might just try a 20 inch radial on the back and drive around like that on the street and then run the 17's in the back with a slick or Street ET or something whenever hammering on it. i just love the way my car looks now and dont wanna compromise on it to much haha.

Being a stick car you’ll have less driveline shock on launches with a 15” tire, and better 60 foot times. You can always use the 20” radial to daily and keep a set of track wheels/tires. I drove to the track with one in the back seat, one in the trunk and a jack, swap tires run all night, swap back and drove home!
