I don't thing the old slicks would have last another burn out! one slick had 3 different spot were you could see cords or belts showing through. /QUOTE]
Congrats on the new pair! Quitting when you did likely not only saved the car, but possibly you?
The cool thing is, you'll be shocked at how much better the car performs now :thumbrig:. A couple "good" burnout's to heat cycle them, and that babies gonna hook like no tomorrow :D. Heck, it might be enough difference to change your launch procedure or even the chassis/shock setup.
Good Luck! Enjoy...
Thanks Rick. I hope they HOOK real good! Or I'm going down that unknown path of chassis mods.
With my 340, i thing i could have got away with 9" slicks, but that's partly why they lasted me 10+ years.
I got my frame connectors in and all welded up. Helped the frame twist by a Bunch!
Just drop/drained my brake in oil. Will be ready for a test and tune on Saturday
My shocks are not adjustable. I hope i can make it work with what i have.
