Those slicks are about 8 yrs old. Dry rotted and wrinkle wall. I think with a fresh set of STIFFWALL slicks i'll be able to get the et down alot more.

Took the truck out this weekend. Lost 3rd gear #$@#%#$^@ Still went 7.51 and i normally shift to 3rd ~330 mark. Made some changes, locked the hei to 40 degrees and put a 2'' spacer on it. Blew the tires of way worse than last time and mustard up a 1.69 60' I think 6's are in it with new slicks and 3rd gear. I'm going to be doing some testing for a performance trans company out of Dallas so I got lucky on that part. Aggrivating because i'll probably be out until next year now!!!!
