Low 12's, hell I better have this thing in the 11's real soon! If I can't hook it up, I am buying 15 inch rims and gonna break something trying.

It should have no problem going deep into the 11's with the power its got. Might take some et drags to get there though. Not sure if the MT drag radials are up to the challenge. Might get you into the 11's though. I just need to get my plugs changes so I can run with you SC guys some more. LOL

I think the drag radials will work, it may just take 15 inch drag radials to do it though. I really want to stay away from a slick style drag tire, don't want the wandering feeling on the big end. Oh car finally got done today and 3.73 gears in, feels alot different now.

Dang, it should pull alot harder through the gears now! Definately want to get some type of MT tires though. I've also heard good things about the M&H tires.

yea m&h are really good, read 2 gt500 runnings 10's on the m&h drag radials, one using 17 inch and one using 15 inch, both in 1.6-1.7 range 60ft. Problem with m&h, almost all there tires in 17-18 inch range are 28 inches tall, way to tall for my car.

That's what my thoughts were, I guess I was unaware that Roush made a drive shaft since I have the pos two-piece in mine!

They dont....they stick a Roush sticker on someone elses one-piece...raise the price $200 and sell it to "Roush Owners" as theirs.
No but seriously...thats what they do
