Yep. What he said. If it was wider than 15x8, you'd need these:

took me 2 runs to get use to them so they stick good, it REALLY improved my 60' and 1/8 time, usually I had a ****ty 2.3/2.4 s for 60', went down to 1.855 and 1/8 from 8.9 to 8.354, i ran a 13 flat on a E.T race, suck tho, i dropped TWIST the throttle at the end cuz I was catching way too much ahead of the other guy, I ended breaking out my time anyway, should have just ran it full throttle all the way to hit my best time, pretty sure a nice high 12 was at the end of it. after that, I couldnt run anymore it was hot laws and finalist from the E.T, i loved the experience, theses mickeys were sticky only probleme is my top speed still remain weak, 102.5 mph.. im running 5 lbs with the M90, 4.10, headers, that about it. At least I did better then when I had 10 lbs with cams n etc 13.40 107 mph. My first run I went with the tuner, he plugged the wideband to see if my fuel was good, he noticed I was really lean on low rpm, when starting the car, but the mix get perfect when hard on throttle, he'll set the tune to give more fuel on low rpm/start etc, hopefully this could fix my cold engine start w/ back fire...

my uncle ended beating up his life time record, he had a blast all night long, front was lifting mad every run, he won the competition breaking finally in the 7s on the last run, it was crazy, 7.97 174.8 mph.

really cool night, my friend tho on first race againts me with his 88' stang 306 stroked/cammed with real DR broke right on the launch, rear axle broke. that sucked for him.


btw 808muscle, I need to know where did you get your reasonator, how much should I expect to pay at least for a pair ?
