Thanks, Richard. They are a near perfect match. Looking at the pics made me think of my lugnuts. I'm pretty sure I will need some different ones. Mine are shank style. I will probably need some bulge acorn style for those wheels. If you could grab 10 in the right thread size and just tell Don to charge the same card for me, that would be great.

Richard,

Nevermind. I'll just check some tire places around Raleigh. There is a place down from my work that gives us a discount. Maybe that will apply to accessories also.

Jimmy,

You have a nice Supra man. I have always liked Supras and would love to have one. The MKIV Supra is about the only import I would willingly drive for the money. What are you looking to turn in the 1/4?

Hey Don,

Those rims look very nice..
Man from treading some of your posts lately, you sound like you've been putting a beast together for us guys this coming season. Lets See, over the past few months, new built manley motor and no telling what other parts, New Drag star lite rims, you trailering your L to the track this year??? that baby is goiong to be to fast for street racing, you gonna need a cage. LOL I'm scared, your getting serious in Mass...LOL

Hey Richard, you in the tire and wheel business now. LOL You been changing wheels and tires lately probably about as much as you've been changing your socks..LOL I decided I couldn't part with my replica 01 20's. I'm going to try the Nitto's on my 18's when I go to the track or If they don't stick well, I'm going to get some 16 inch rims with some Hoosiers like you got.

This is going to be a very interesting season of Drag Racing, Let's get it on..

Thanks for the compliment. I ran 117mph last time in Kinston with 93 octane. I started a run with 100 octane made with xylene and blew an intercooler hose off before the eighth mile. Then I spent a couple hours at Jeff's shop trying to find the leak. Hopefully, I can run at least 120mph and get into the 11's.

Sweet. Running the stock turbos? How much boost are you pushing? I think with the E/T Streets you should be able to launch hard enough for a mid 11 second run if all goes well.

They are the stock turbos. I run around 18 to 20 psi. It depends on what gear and the weather. I have no idea what kind of boost I was pushing with the race gas. Just as I was about to look at my gauge, the pipe blew off. Must have been high as hell.
