Some of you guys may remember my recent post about me taking my coupe to the track and getting a horrible 2.6 60ft and landing 14.7 on a very minor modded 87 fox..if you don't remember well here's the post 1st visit to the track.... : (
Ok so now that I've seemed to collect all these new parts i think it's time to get them all on the car and hit the track again. So this time, I picked up a set of 4 Yokohama A032's that I'm going to mount on a extra set of ponys. The rears are 255-50-16 and front are 225-50-16..
 
Ok so now the list of things waiting in the garage to be put on the car before the next visit to the track are:
1.)Ford Racing 3.73's
2.)Richmond Powertrax Locker (28spline)
3.)Tires
And the only thing that may be added to list are control arms, subrame connectors, and clutch
Any other Ideas?

I don't think those tires are gonna help you that much...you maybe shoulda saved your money and bought a good pair of Drag Radials...I think those may have a compound it them that's different from Drag Radials.

those tires are ment for road racing not drag racing, i used to have those on my 00 gt and they where great on the streets handles really good on turns trust me i tested the shit out of them, but i took them to the track and run a 14.0 all day then i went againg with shitty tires and run a 13.6, so i would just get drag radials for 1/4 track ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

A bit pricey but it's probably the cheapest
you're gonna find these tires.
summit was the cheapest place online that i found mine but then u got pay for shipping and mounting, so i went to manny at cvtire.com cheaper then summit and that's including mounting

I got mine from a shop In San Jose. Cash is king there. Way Cheaper then Summit!! I had them mounted and balanced at another shop next to my work for like 20bucks.
YES Twisted is Telling every bit of the truth. They hook VERY VERY well.
