Diamond racing wheels makes a set for your application.

[wickedcobra]

Whats your guys take on staying with the 16" rim? SHould I swap over to GT rear brakes or just grind the caliper to fit a 15? Is grind alot of work or just a little?

I would go with the GT rotors. Painless and I can't tell any difference is braking.

I agree with Jeff, just go with GT brakes. I never noticed a difference with the smaller brakes either.

:woot1: For the Camera Crew!!! Glad to hear your gonna make it out. You guys have spoiled me, I didn't know what to do without a video of my run last weekend. :biglaugh:

[AZSonicSnake]

yeah, i think us lining up warrants a good video. it will be a riot!!! :biglaugh: :woot1:

[Ruckus46gt]

i'm def out my shippment hopefully is shipping out tomorrow. I changed my plugs to tr6's today. 2 hours to finish up the install, but still have to meet up with nic pull a few degrees of timing and get on the dyno to make sure my af is good. Oh and waiting on a little sticker of a tire to come in, nittos are done after 5k miles. Big burnotus just to get them to stick killed them. Et street dr or hoosier qtp's, qtps will probely hurt me n/a but will love the spray

[IMSHAKN]

I'm shooting for low 13's Friday...slow, I know...but everyone has to start somewhere. :yes:

[AZSonicSnake]

thats not that slow. you should be able to kill off a few vettes. :woot1:

[Indy]

I'm shooting for low 13's Friday...slow, I know...but everyone has to start somewhere. :yes:


Don't feel to bad thats all my car will run without the bottle. But when the bottle is on................................................ .................I'm still slow :biglaugh:

[IMSHAKN]

I know it's not THAT slow, but I'm delusional...I want to go faster. Oh well...the March build of the rear and tune will be something to look forward to.

[YellowGT5.0]

Im sure ill be the slowest stang out there.. what ever it'll be fun!

[AZSonicSnake]

it'll be fun!

ain't that the truth! nothing beats a good trip down the 1320!

[YellowGT5.0]

It will be my first time racin and its with my stock motor for shits and giggles ill be swapping my signature in, in the next month or two. i just got some slicks, is it even worth running them if im not going to be faster than 14? ill feel like a loser :loser:

[AZSonicSnake]

it will definetly eliminate any traction issues. thats for sure. and don't worry, we have all been there on the first time thing, its all good. we all have to start somewhere.

[YellowGT5.0]

sounds good ill do it!

[Gene]

I'm shooting for low 12's. I dont have a jacket unles someone can loan me an xl. Firebird has ass hole techs.

[fazm]

i got a jacket. lemme check the size on it

[fazm]

its an XL

[ASUSMC]

Gene you can borrow mine if ya want. I will probably be headin out there. Wont run unless the car's electrical system is feeling like cooperating. Unless I try to get 13's with the truck, cold air, and decent tires.

[Gene]

its an XL
Cool, are you going?

[fazm]

Cool, are you going?


ill be there :pinkthumb:

[06GT]

I'm out this time, but I've got a dyno tune scheduled at PSR next Tuesday...I'll hit Firebird for sure after that.

[chewbaccajones]

Do they require fire jackets too?

[4doorfoxy]

Well.... looks like I'm out..... sorry guys :frown::icon_mad::irked::censored:

Something came up and I'm not able to get down there until tomorrow... not real happy about it but I hope you guys have fun at least without me.

[Gene]

I'm out too. It's my moms 50th birthday weekend and I have family coming in for it.

[Ruckus46gt]

I would go with the GT rotors. Painless and I can't tell any difference is braking.
dont tell gt people that they all swap up to cobra brakes...but then again all they do is road race :icon_cool:
Stock gt brakes etc are good enough for drag racing road racing however little diff

[fazm]

that was a good time tonight, cant wait to see the vids, especially that last one.

[BurnTire]

I had a 10.64 super sway run LOL. Picked up 3MPH at the 8th from last week.

I have a feeling a few got da boot!

[AZSonicSnake]

yup. we did. i am working on getting the video up.

all i can say is that was flat out the most awesome race i have ever ran. jay is one hell of a driver. thanks for the badass run brotha.

and the video was too big for youtube, so i am working on getting it up on google video now. i will find a way to cut it down and get it on youtube soon, but now it will just be on google. trust me, its awesome. seems that my camera shoots decent video. :twothumbsup:

[TorchedMach1]

Yes we did get das boot and it was an awesome run. The video is awesome!!! Its so cool seeing 2 pretty different Mustangs being driven hard to almost identical times. Can't wait to head out and get booted again. :biglaugh:

[vicious781]

Ended up working later than I thought so I couldn't make it out. Looking forward to the vids though!

[desslok40]

I saw your run, very impressive, how much $$ do you have in your car !!! lol

I was dissapointed in the whole TV show thing, getting there at 630 and not running till 830 kinda sucked, only did 1 run and said to hell with it. They should of had you on the show. Anyways not sure whats going on with me I pulled a 13.3 @ speedworld a few weeks ago, can't get anything better than 13.6 @ firebird !! Seems like I am losing something on the top end, anybody with suggestions? I am N/A, mods in sig.

[wickedcobra]

Had some fun even though we didn't run until 9. Ran my astonishing 12.45 @ 118 om 18" DR's. I really need some slicks. Tony and Jay's cars are awesome. I didn't know there was crash derby in the pit area Jeff......:redface:. Hopefully next time with the slicks I can run in the 11's. I guess on the bright side that was my fastest run. :woot2:

[AZSonicSnake]

yea, the video thing did suck big time. but it was not a huge deal since i knew i was not gonna get many runs in anyways. hahaha.

btw- great times wicked cobra, i was very impressed with that on an 18" tire. wait till you get some rubber that hooks!! and it also was great to meet ya and hang out last night.

[wickedcobra]

Cool, Lets do this again. Maybe I will have to venture up to Speed World next time.

[AZSonicSnake]

for sure! though i will not be back out to speedworld till i get a cage in. they know my car very well, and i probably could not get away with fudging the time on the tech card. i have 8-10 sub 11.5 runs in there. though most were 11.3-11.5.

[acstone7]

Looking forward to seein the vid :Bucktooth:

everybody has to get a baseline anyway. besides hitting the tree is good practice for every timeclass

[04moostang]

How often does everybody go to firebird? i've gone once and only was able to get 4 runs it cause it was so jam packed. i'd like to go again and meet up with some of you folks.

[fazm]

i go often. but i destroy a transmission almost everytime. im going to swap a tr6060 from a gt500 into my car within the next couple months

once that is done, then ill be going back more often. should allow me to shift into the lower 11s
