i'm not going to El Paso, the car is. Brian from THR will pick up the car from my house in his enclosed trailer, and drop it off at my house when Stage I of the project is complete.

I want to race you when you get it all together.

Gonna be sweet man!

i find it REALLY hard to believe that the rear end will hold up.. ESPECIALLY with drag radials.. dr's are BRUTAL on rear suspension and axle parts.. but then again, i'm not the expert....

how would they be any more brutal than a pair of slicks?

Brain at THR has told me that the built 7.5 will handle it, and I trust his word. Besides, if it doesn't handle it... he will make it right.

oh i'm not saying i'll beat you... but i know it will be fun either way!

it's going to take me a lot of practice to get used to racing with some real power.... remember, i'm used to 175rwhp.

so win or lose, i will be getting some much needed practice while having a blast at the track. and that's what it's all about, right?

but, if i win that would be pretty sweet too.

the way it was explained to me by dean is that slicks have more give in the sidewall so they dont put as much immediate stress on the rear end.. they kinda ease it on there.. where as dr's are a lot more solid.. so a lot more sudden impact.. and like i said i'm no expert and i'm sure he will make it right... i'm just putting in my .02

DAMN, Jeff'o...Your V6 Project is THE HOT TOPIC.....

86sleeper · 07-27-2007, 05:04 PM

i will agree on the slicks vs drag radials point made above.
My only addition to is that if the drag radials hook well, then they could pose more of a problem. However, since they do have less of a contact patch, they are easier to spin on you as well and that will just make you look dumb. LOL

What is the E.T.A. on the car Jeff?

it won't be sent up to THR for about a month. The Procharger kit has been ordered, but it takes some time for them to ship it, and we are also waiting on Stainless Works or Kooks to release their Longtube headers for the car. Both companies are weeks away from releasing the product.

Once he gets all of the stuff in, he will pick up the car and he said he should be done with it in a week.
