Default advice?

well basically

me and this guy with an srt-4 are having a little horsepower battle.

right now ive got

long tube headers, 4.10s, offroad hpipe, c&l intake, xcal 2 93 brenspeed tune, spohn lcas, bmr panhard bar and eibach pro kit springs.

he claims to have 320whp w/ 340torque, i dont think ican take him but i know if we race from a stop ill have a good chance, so basically i think im gonna get a set of wheels and slicks, so for you guys with seperate set of wheels/slicks what are you running?


i was looking at some weld drag lites with some 315 mickey thompson slicks?


what do you guys think what size wheel should i go with?




and would it take any modifciations to fit a 15 inch rim in the back?

My guess is he has a Stage 3 SRT-4, they put around 340-355 HP down.

That's a ~$30,000 car, so hese got you on the price paid for his car... But they can run mid 12's stock [>:]

Hope he doesn't have any Spray and race him from a stop, if you can launch you should get him.

Get a nitrous system, it will be funner and more usable than the slicks or drag radials.

erm with just nitrous you dont really need 315 slicks lol. those slicks are for serious hp, and slicks dont come in 315 sizes and such they are x x x
