I don't like the the Summit brand 90/10s, the rears blew out on a hard launch, and they still weren't long enough for the springs. I had them on the car less than 2 weeks before I chucked them.

This was a test ant tune, Im happy with the results for now, I only had limited time to run, and this was the maiden trip...

When I get more pony under the hood, then Ill really get to the down and dirty, and probbly get a dedicated wheel and tire combo for taking to the strip.

I know the tire spinn really killed me, but it was TEST AND TUNE..

Pluss I technicaly have the 360 in the car sold so I didnt want to hurt anything.




Do I understand this correctly? You took it to the track, after you sold the engine? - That's funny.

No money has changed hands, I told the buyer I was going to take it, He told me if its gonna handle a thrashing at the track it will be a great engine for his street car. Its going in his 71 demon minus my cam, valve covers, intake carb and oil pan. I am going to put a new hughes cam in it to his specs when it gets pulled out.

What tire is the best for a mild street/strip car? Im thinking of getting some M/T ET drags. and some steelies. How crappy is it gonna handle? I have heard the cars handle like crap with radials on front and bias slicks on the rear.
