Truck looks great, looks like you have a good time and thats all that matter. It's fast enough to take out some of the 4cyl lightly modded imports, and thats always good.
One question though, were you heating your stock tires before each run?
I would avoid the water box, and heating them up, and just roll right to staging. You lose traction with warm stock rubber.
actually i was doing pretty decent burnouts. i didnt know that about stock tires... but now that you mention it, i do remember hearing that somewhere...

yeah i found that out, and i did hook pretty good a few times doing that. i just think if i had sticky enough tires to where i could actually launch without spinning, i could really make some improvements on my ET.
and i was also pondering a methanol kit, especially since i dont have an intercooler, but yeah hearing that troyer said it was a bad idea, i kinda put that idea to rest., shame tho...
I came to the idea of getting 2 of my stock lariat wheels widened to 10" and get some drag radials, going this route will cost way less than 2 new wheels.

whats it cost to get that done? i found some pretty cheap 17X9's and 18x10's. its the dam drag radials that cost $150-$200 each...
Well weldcraft got back to me on streching 2 of my lariat wheels they want $225 per wheel plus shipping to them and back to me I told the guy I can get a new set or wheels and 2 slicks for what that would cost
I think they stretch wheels that people really like, usually aftermarket or rare wheels. That's basically their niche. If I were you, I'd just get a good cheap set of wheels and the tires.
