So thats what they will look like. Did you paint or powdercoat the wheels.

[wreckwriter]

Are those slicks? If so you need a driveshaft loop to run at an NHRA track. Check Metco for that.

[GRRRR8]

I believe they are ET Streets which are just like the ET Drag, but with 4 small grooves. The only reason I say this is he asked what size/tire to get in a PM.

[wreckwriter]

Gotcha. Can't see grooves in the picks. if it has grooves he's ok on the loop although it might not be a bad idea to throw one on. That thing is going to be putting out a ton of power at launch.

[GRRRR8]

Look closely at the sidewall, It says STREET. I had to wait for the second cup of to be able to see it. lol

whats a driveshaft loop??

[GRRRR8]

If the shaft fails it keeps it from damaging the car and you!

well if safety is number one then its on order!!

I think thats a good move. Your car is going to be extremely fast and hard to handle at launch. Please be careful.

.....honestly with all of the exhaust, heat shield, tunnel brace, I thought, hell we won't even need a driveshaft loop, when I first saw it.

Technically you need one, but with all that there, I doubt it could ever come out and do damage.

Agreed, its unlikely but its good insurance.

[GRRRR8]

I would rather not have the driveshaft tear anything more up if at all possible.

[zosoboogie]

what about that new drive shaft from Hendrix engineering. would that be the last mod needed or is that something for a 10 sec car??

quick question living in Texas, did you ever hear of the Texas mile drag race???

[KaiserM715]

Are these wheels a different bolt pattern? Or is it "close enough"?

Please be careful.

Careful Wreck, you're liable to infuriate the buzzkillers with that well intentioned advice.

I can get away with it :)

Nice Setup. Can't make out the size on my monitor. 26 11.5 17? Are these Camaro SS Wheels OR Vette Wheels. If they are Camaro can we clear the brakes with 16" Camaro Wheel?

The Baer's are for the front, I didn;t get them for the rear. They are 1991 ZR1 Vette wheels 17 x 9.5, the MT ET STREET are the ones that GRRRR8 recommended!!
