    I am going to do away with the rim screws and go radial. They should seal with cut screws and silicone.

    I think im going with a 275/60/15 et street SS tire. its a little shorter. With the 4.11 gear i dont want to go to a 26" tire and spin too much

    1st gear in the TH400 is 2.48 compared to the 3.06 in a 700/4L60, so the 2.48 x 4.11 is close to a 3.06 x 3.23. Agree w/ the 28” tire. It was very easy to blow away the 315/35-17 (25.7”) BFG Drag Radials on the street.

    she looks probably the rattiest she ever will, but i put the radials on from the other car. Ive gone 10.78 at 126 in @Ltconvert on the ss wheels with the 275/40/17 et street r, so i think this will help the car on motor for now being a 26" tall tire.

    i want to put passes on it and see how it does hopefully next weekend. Also changed the fuel filter which was an interesting shade of brown inside. oddly enough, the harder i hit it, the more it cleans up and runs better

    i took the racequip harness from the 95 and put it in. i may have to go kirkey since i cannot brace the back of the seat to the bar easily

    When the roll bar was installed the stock seat was still there. The guy who built the bar put a tube “socket” under the harness tab, and fabricated a tube with a flat bearing plate to rest against the stock seat back. I think it’s still in the car. I never got around to having it attached to the Corbeau seat, and with the seat having a slider it would have been difficult. I don't believe NHRA allows a pinned brace that can be removable to allow the seat to slide. Has to be solid. I could be wrong. E’town tech never questioned much of anything except the stud length on the front wheels, and I corrected that. I don't think they took the car seriously…..

    id have to make a much longer about 5" piece of tube and bolt it because i sit alot closer to the wheel lol. i have a clamp-on one for the kirkey but i would have to cut the current tube socket out of the way.

    maybe island wont take me seriously either, that would be good. how fast do we think this car is on motor?
