Woooooo-hooooooo

As many of you know, having time on your hands can be a good/bad thing. I have had plenty of time on my hands for the past 3 months, including today. So what better way to past time, than buying chit for the Lightning and ways of looking to catch an extra .10 off the et's

Because my good friend Joe, aka SOAP had to show those fans on his old Lightning, I started thinking again. Ofcourse I was drinking Jager while thinking
I already have the JDM HeatExchanger, so why not help it remove the heat.......right?



Ofcourse I have a toggle in the cab to control them and also to turn on the intercooler pump

I also have been running the ET 26" tall streets. I have alot of wheelspin thru first gear. No matter how hot I get them, I seem to overpower them. So I was thinking again You know.
So I got a taller tire for the rear, hoping my mph will increase and my et's will get lower, from the better 60' time



O Yeah------Iam ready for Cecil on the 12th. And I hope to get that magic 11.XX sec timeslip

Thanks for the positive feedback guys

Better mph because of a 2" Taller tire
Better 60' (I Hope) because of less wheel spin. My gearing will be 3.73 w/stock height tire. Running the ET's that are 26" multiply's the 3.73 for a steeper gear. And I spin the Et's thru first gear and have been only able to get a 1.71 in the 60.

Sounds good drinking Jager

Nope they aren't Vinnie's fans, mine are the 7 1/2 inchers and notice NO plastic zip ties..LOL

Very nice Gator. I really hope you run the number. I have the same problem with 26" tall ET Streets and I am looking into another wheel/tire combo. MT is coming out with 28" tall ET Streets, but I think I still may go w/the Hoosiers. Looking good
