thanks for the very detailed response, what kind of drag wheels would you recommend for the DRs?

Yea I dont know I honestly didnt read the whole article... When I saw the title I remember that Kaldar was looking for a 12sec car so I just copied and pasted it here... I hope it helps out atleast a lil

ORIGINAL: bl1nkage

....Except that mufflers dont add hp on these cars, like the article claimed. So I guess thats only 5?
O, I understand.. its not your fault that magazines are dumb. [8D]They addedUDPs anda tune but no intake? I would think that would be the first modification done to ANY car... oh well.

hey guys, well it seems ive got done the '12 second' part, but bump for what drag wheel to run upfront/rear and where to buy.


ALSO, this is getting ridiculous... as some of you may know im having an LCA-Squeak issue (or so i believe...i have spohn lcas w/ poly bushing)... anyways, i was getting so annoyed that i took my LCAs off, and manually greased them as in i put grease on my finger and rubbed it all over the bushing, then i actually greased it more through the fiting... to say the least, there was alot of grease LOL, so i finally put them back in and whatnot.

i go for a test drive, and yayyyyyyyy its all gone, so on my way back home from the gas station... i hear -squeak squeak- as i go around a turn, i prtty much slapped myself in the head, this is just ANNOYING.. its no where near as crazy as it used to be... what do you guys think i should do? this is just plain stupid, PS my shocks are pretty much blown but i cant afford to throw 550 towards the car and my parents wont help me out, what do you guys think?

^ Park it and drive the 240 for awhile until you can get new shocks. And Id replace your shocks before you invest more money into the performance stuff youre trying to get. Maintenance comes before mods. Its not worth it to have a fast car that has a bunch of broken parts.

Get MT ETs, and up front, just get the skinniest tire you can find.

Yeah, thats probably a good idea haha.. i'll probably save a few extra $ on gas too haha, i should of replaced those shocks when i had the money but i decided to get headers instead, lol (good call on my part, huh?).


i meant to say what actual wheels i should get, such as bogarts and such, like im not familiar with drag wheels so i would need some help with that. thanks guys
