Subject: Re: Driving Impressions today by bogus on 2008/12/7 23:58:40 Yes. You are putting a shit load of power through tires not able to handle it. A couple of thoughts... 1) You do not need anymore gear in that car. 2) If you don't have them, beam plates can't hurt... 3) What TYPE of BFG are they? It's cold as hell out in your part of the world, with that, sticky summer tires turn rock hard. If they are all season BFGs (think KDW vs KD), then they won't help at all. I would think you need a stickier tire to help contain that power. Don't even think about drag racing this animal until you get something to help with traction... If you don't have them, consider upgrading to the 11.5" rear rim. This is the catch-22 of too much power: You need more traction and you don't have a stout enough drive line to support it. Hence, you add drag radials, you kill the D36, follow? So... D44 with 3.07 gears and you should be ok. Any more gear and that car will be wholly undriveable. DO NOT EVER DRIVE THIS CAR IN THE RAIN OR SNOW. Unless, of course, you want to die. Seriously. You now know what cold and dry does, you don't want wet. |
