he was saying the higher the speed you roll him from the closer the race will be... so keep it at low speeds from the start and he will be playing catch up the whole time.

That is correct, you will be better off at slower speeds. I ran a set of 20s up front and they were a lot lighter than my Chromed 18s. I have run a SRT and they have a hard time off the line. The one that I raced was running ET Slicks, so he hooked pretty good off the line, but it was no race..........but I am not stock .

He only has a street tuned chip. So numbers look about right.

slicks on a srt-10? are you sure? From what I hear they cant get a small enough wheel over the brakes to run slicks.

The guy I'm supposed to race said you have to have a 20in rim to clear the rotors... Whether or not this is true I don't know tho.

If you'll be down here for two weeks, then you'll be here for the monthly TALON meeting. The one on December 2 will be at the Hooters in S. Arlington (5821 West I-20 (Between Green Oaks/Little Rd. & 820 on North side service road). We usually start meeting up about 5:30pm or so. Keep your eyes on this forum:

I have heard 18 inch rims, so if that's the case they could put some DRs back there.

Bottom line unless he is seriously modded you should have no issue beating up on him. The fastest I have ever heard of one going stock is a mid-13. Stock for stock it'll be a good race, but if you've got some slight modifications you'll win. Keep in mind that you have to be really good to power shift one of those hogs...the shift throw is like that of a damn semi.

lol I'll let you guys know what happens. I'm in TX right now and won't be back for 2 weeks so the race won't be for awhile. I'll try and get it on video too if possible.
