Re: My latest ride
I figured you were running msd with a 2 step or similar. I have a speedo in my car and thats it. But i do try to datalog when i race. It records way more than i need to know. Pretty nice to look back at though.

Re: My latest ride
I picked these up for about $50 each. I get great traction on my 1600 that doesn't build boost till 4500 rpm!

Re: My latest ride
I always liked this look of this car. I don't know what the rear tires are but they look just right to me!

Haha! True. But I just like the look of it. Let's pretend it's just hidden behind that decklid!

Re: My latest ride
Ive always loved the look of this car too...its even better in person!
Ive been eyeing the M&H DOT's lately...sounds like most have had really good luck with them. My 60 ft times are terrible and would like to drive them down with something a little stickier:
