LOL@ cam only plate.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your power level at? Also, what tranny/rear end gear setup are you running?

I'm curious to know if you will be able to dead hook third gear at all with these. Thanks!

Lol thanks guys, everyone gets a kick out of the plate.

My car makes 730/645. Built ls2, afr heads, novi 2200r on 17.5psi

I have a zr1 tr6060 with C6z diff with 3.42 gears. I'm hoping to hook second. I was able to dead hook with my weld 15's and Hoosier 325's setup but I wanted a set of wheels a little more street friendly for some cruises

In decent weather 60*+ I was hooking pretty much all of second on these tires with 840/840. I got 15s but they won't make it on by this weekend for our airstrip event so looks like I'll be on the 18s still at 950-1000whp. I'll let u know how they do.

15's get sketchy over 140, I wouldn't use them at a airstrip, my *** had puckered up a few times on the street.

Yea I was thinking the same thing at speeds of 170-180 the 18s were probably safer. I guess the 15s will be for drags only.

took it for a ride, dead hooks first and i don't even know what air pressure is in them.

yea the 15's were ok but i don't think im going to run them on the street anymore, they like to grab ruts in the road and sway like crazy at high speeds plus if your doing a pull and you have to hit the brakes for whatever reason you better be ready with the steering wheel. also if there are any bumps in the road they like to hop which is a big *** pucker moment lol...
