   Do you think you can get the traction you need for low 10s, high 9s with the rallyes?  Just curious.

Later, Jim

I think the ralleys will work fine. I'm running 275/60/15 MT Drag Radials which have seen 7s on several cars. I'm also toying with the idea of having my front wheels narrowed the run a skinner tire simular to the 195/60/15 that I ran on the Welds.

Are you going to strengthen the body at all, frame connectors and upgraded suspension as well?

I've already install some beefy frame connectors and have torque box reinforcements that are going to be welded in. :2thumbs:

And thanks to everyone for the encouragement. It took alot of my nerve to tear into this car as it was!
