Trucks running great. With the new long tube headers it feels like it picked up some good power.

I was thinking about getting the Mickey Thompson drag radials for my car. 275/50s again. have heard they're better than the Nitto drag radials I have now. I just can't get traction with them. Is May 5th a test-n-tune day?

Nope -

Pro Mod & Outlaw Uprising Qualifying

Do you go on t-n-t days or ? The last 3 times I went was T-n-t but I only got like 3 runs in due to track clean up, etc.

I have a set of BFGoodrich Comp T/A drag radials P255/50R 16s on steal rims in our for sale forum. I could let just the tires go pretty cheap if you can use them.
PM me if you want to talk about them so we don't get hollered at,,lol.
I may be getting rid of the 28" M/Ts if the new 30s work out ok for me.

Thanks for the offer. If I could find some really cheap 4 lug 16" wheels I might. I have 6 ten hole wheels in my shed and the Welds on my Mustang. They are all 15 inches. Even the 26" Nittos I have rub a little. I need to roll my quarters for more room.

Didn't think about the Mustang being 15"
One good thing is you have a ton of tires to pick from. There's a lot more 15s out there then there is 16s.

True. Too bad tires are so expensive.
