Ok, since someone asked for some pics of my cars, here they are. I dont have any pics of my A4 yet, but its stock so its nothing special to see. Most of the pictures are of my 73 Nova, and i think my 1999 Wrangler might be visible in some of them. If your really good, you could find some shots of my dads primered Barracuda in some of them. Let me know what you think of my progress so far!

I think you're gonna have traction issues Looks nice man!

 

thanks, to somewhat address the traction demons we ordered a set of Hoosier quick time pros 31X10.5R15 and we are gonna order some beadlocks, but i have a feeling we are gonna need to switch to a 4 link setup here pretty soon

 

As in 31" tall and 10.5" wide? (I'm not sure if drag radials are measured differently) This is what size tire I had on my Chevy K10 pickup. I would think you'd still need more rubber. My roomate has a '69 Camaro with a ZZ4 350 (about 360hp and 400tq) he's got 235s in the rear which are 9.25" wide and an Eaton posi-lock and he can't get any traction. I'm sure you know what you're doing though lol. Once again, looks nice. I hope you enjoy your A4.

 

to tell you the truth, im not really too sure what im doing lol. yes, it means 31 inches tall and 10.5 inches wide. It is the largest possible size we can fit without tubbing it.

 

Got ya. Well, that 454 is gonna be pumpin out over 500hp I'm curious to see how the 10.50s stack up. What tranny are you running?

 

a TCI TH400 with a 3500rpm stall convertor. We are getting a new one though becasue that one is not liking that many horses and balloning. Time for a anti-balloning one, exspically (sp?) after we throw on the 200 shot.

 

aparently no one here likes American Muscle, i shoulda known

 

hahahaha i used to have a jeep, big tires (33s) and stuff, its american but not technically considered muscle,
but props on the ride. stock or not lets see the audi huh?

 

sick car man, never was a chevy guy (been building/driving/racing mustangs since i was 14 so ive never strayed from the blue oval, but either way, sick car


as far as the tires go, hold on to your ***, (refering to whoever posted about the 235s, theyre not quite 9.5" IIRC, but street tires and drags are much different, size isnt waht matters, its the rubber compound.......the hoosiers will stick plenty well, but if i were you i would switch to a 10" wide slick so that you can still race in most classes that youll be competitive in, with the rules in NMRA (they may be different in other fields) 10"s was the biggest you could go without getting into the superstock and pro comp classes
