Default New rear shocks are on

I put my Strange adj. rear shocks on the silver bucket this past weekend. I have to say, I am VERY impressed. These shocks along with my Strange adj. front struts are INCREDIBLE. The car launches VERY hard. I will have my new wheels and tires this weekend and that will be the true test. I am pretty much just blowing the 335's off all the way through second gear. Stay tuned for the ol' silver bucket lifting the front wheels. Pics of that coming next week. I am all giggly

you have any plans to s/c or turbo that beast since your engine can handle obscene amounts of boost now lol

I bet it feels like getting hit in the face with a bat.

Can't do boost....too much compression. She will be bottle fed.

if the front wheels dont lift I will be suprised.

I am pretty much just blowing the 335's off all the way through second gear.
Is that with them heated up? the MT DR's I have didnt stand a chance if they was not heated up. pulled 2.1's-2.3's the first night out with em......that was before the line lock.
