Hahaha, I know, that's pretty funny. Well, I just placed the order for the pinche 24" tires and will mount those and see what looks better and sell the one's I don't or keep them as spares. I'm also going to lower the front a little too. Damn, if it ain't one thing its another.

If I lower the front then it will look like an old funny car- way high in the back.
So either way I'm screwed.

Manny, I think I jumped the gun. Damn old cars. After the car sat overnight the front suspension dropped over 2" and the wheels and tires look really good now. But I am still going to mount the 24" tires and see which one's look better. I still have like 4" of clearance all around. I also painted my front grill to match the new bling wheels. What do ya think?

Alright, just finished installing my new line lock and I'm ready to hit the track again. Aiming for this thursday weather permitting. I also installed the larger 24" tires and the car looks much better with them on. All I got was some pics of the engine bay with the line lock installed. Wish me luck, going for 7's in the 8th.

Yep, waste spark on leading. Still need to fork out the money to buy another msd 6al box and hook to trailing so that I can set up my rev limiter.

All kidding aside, I did notice a gain in hp when I hooked the msd direct/waste spark. On the trailing, I'm just going to run the msd through the cap though.
