How fast can a stock leaf rearend be?

That actually makes sense. Sounds like a winter project. My 60 foot was 2.11 with an 1/8 mile ET of 8.58 and 82MPH. I know that if I cure my traction issues, there will be major improvements. Slicks are the logical next step, but parts breakage isn't in my budget.

If you have traction, it doesn't matter if you have slicks. You're more likely to break something. You just have to upgrade the breakables...
