Ya I'll need to stick with tubes as the used rims I picked up, had the valve stem hole enlarged some. Thanks for the link " flyfish"

I know racing is addictive.....I raced a little many years ago, on occasion, but never used slicks. ( just a street car) would you happen to know a tube size for a 28X 10.50 slick ? Thanks again " Pettybludart"

oh one more question...do I need to use tubes with a metal valve stem, or are rubber stems tubes ok, for NHRA tech inspection? I'm guessing my car is a low twelves car, so I don't know the rules for cars running in this catagory. ( bracket racing)

well obviously I don't want them all the way through the beads, but far enough in to bite into the rubber bead good....I'm thinkin 3/8 or 1/2 would be fine.

Yes I have tube in my slicks, ( centerlines are notorious for air leaks), anyway thanks for the help guys!

Are your rims centerlines? Just curious? I was going to use 8 also, on each side. Thanks for the info. Pettybludart

How long of a screw should be used to screw slicks to centerline rims? I'm guessing maybe 1/2 or 5/8. Figured I'd ask somebody who has done this.

X2, it also depends on who's stripe kit you have on your car now. I noticed there all a little different, when you start comparing them side by side. Especially the tail panel stripes. The most correct stripe in the industry are that of performance car graphics.

I have the same gears and tires on the rear as you, and I have driven my duster to our local track, an hour away, with no issues. It runs at 180 to 190 degrees just as yours does, and at 55 mph, I'm turning about 3200 rpms. I say drive it, and ebjoy a great day making some passes.

I live about the same amount of miles away from our drag strip, and I drive my duster there with 4:30s, but I don't go much faster than 55 mph, or it's screaming. Luckily it's all secondary roads to get there. LOL !

I'd guess 12.90s, with the 3:55 gears being a limiting factor.

fantastic! and congrats!

I'd go with a six pack fiberglass hood, ( or another steel hood you can cut for a scoop) and keep your stock hood in case you want to go back to stock appearence. This is exctly what I'm doing with my duster....

mine has superstock springs with 1 inch lowering blocks and I'm running 275X60 15 BFGs on 15X8 rallys with offset spring hangers.

hope he kicks ***....

I have pined the 150 speedometer in my 440-6 superbird on ocassion.....and it was'nt breathin hard yet!

congrats! this is awsome, I hope you post video for us to see.

I'd say 12.40s and with some fine tuning you will porbably go 12.00s

I'll say 10:80s.........

thats not bad at all for your first time out with the car. Was I right with my guess of 12.80s or what?? With a little tuning and some minor changes, I think your ET will drop to the low 12s

12.80s is my guess for the quarter mile
