750lb f. springs, stock rears. 16x8 wheels, WS6 spec sway bars w/urethene bushings. Partilly boxed rear control arms w/fresh rubber bushings. Slotted upper strut mounts. Wonderbar.

305TBI w/ Lt1 cam. G92 exhaust manifolds, 3" exhaust single outlet muffler.

5speed, 9 bolt rear w/3.27 gear + lots of shims. Aluminum rear calipers. Torque arm moved off trans to its own mount.

Run every event in your series, get all the points you can.

Make sure your t-tops are off and hair metal is cranked

Good luck.

I don't listen to hair metal...

Where on earth did you find good 16 inch tires? I was forced against my will to get 17's, and even then my pickings were slim.

Too bad, crank it, it makes Firebirds and Cramits drive faster, especially those with T-tops

Because if you're driving a Cramit with a T-top, you're going to need a tarp.

I'm using BFG Comp T/A 2. Wish I could upgrade to 17x9". Hawks has a beautiful GTA 17" they created, but$$$$. 275 tires would be a big help. Of course then i'd want stffer springs and bil$tien shocks....

I love those hawks wheels, but you're right. maybe next year...

Also, my car was radio delete from the factory, so no lousy music for me.
