Earlier in the day the car ran a 10.68 @ 128 mph with a slight bog out of the hole since the car was a little on the cold side. About 150 degrees. It seems to like 190 degrees. I will post pics and hopefully some video soon. With stock suspension and shocks, and those gears, it leaves alright! -Kenny

Not best 60' though... In the staging lanes. The blue Olds is one of our customers. Stroker Big Block Olds. And yes, that is a 5" Six pack scoop on it.

StrokerAspen OP top fuel Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 1,600 Alberta Canada	Thanks Mike! Fronts are 28 tall rears are 27 tall. Rears are cooked now, they didn't dead hook once sunday. I will be going to a 26 x 8.5 for the next time out. I'm going to strech those little bike tires on to my 10" rear wheels. The fronts are Centerline Rev's. I have matching rears, but I ordered them with a different diff in mind. So, I found the rears with tires on a local forum with the right back space. The rears are black faced Weld Racing Weld Stars. The Centerline Rev's will probably go on my 1967 Valiant I am building.

I prefer to run a 26" tire with these gears. The 27" X 10.5 ET Streets that are currently on the car came with the rear wheels when I bought them. I have run as big as a 29.5 X 10.5 on the car before the sliders, with 5.13 gears. Here is a picture for comparison... I know I know, the little tires look goofy. Funny to see the looks on people's faces when that wide old Aspen dead hooks on 8.5's
