sawson's got the ET drags. I'm sure they hook better. I'm in Fremont, sure you can have 'em for Friday, but sawsons doubtless will get you a better ET.
Ours are both almost exactly the same size, 8.5" wide. If you run a 275 drag radial, you'll be stepping down considerably.

Joe,
My Nittos are 245/50-16 on my Ponies
Sawson's E.T. Drags would be great, but I want to go on Friday when they are actually prepping the track. I was told by the people at the track that they don't really prep the track on Wednesday's or Saturday's for Grudge because there are too many "street" cars.
So I feel that E.T. Streets on a prepped track would hook a hell of a lot better than E.T. Drags on a night with little to no prep

I'll e-mail you

BTW, how goes the head install? I saw the pictures of your port work, they look good.

Thanks again
Brian

Brian-
Well, since the Corral crashed as I was trying to respond to you in the Drag Racing forum I will hop over here. I plan to be there Fri. w/ a new set of 3.73's!

I also plan to help you empty that rolling gym locker of yours and at least ice your intake. If you want to try my short belt, you can. Chirag might be there, as well.
Rock and Roll!

3.73's???? on an AOD car? with a stock converter??? What's up with that??

If you are going to have the gears installed, make sure you bring a helmet because you will probably run a 13.86 (Just pulling numbers out of the air)

I am going to remove the passenger seat at home (since I am going to need the room to put the other tires) I wanted to get the battery moved into the trunk before Friday but it doesn't look promising

See you at the track
Brian

Hey, what my fender did to stocker's ET Streets was nothing compared to what he did to them with his own $10 Harbor Frieght 'calibrated' Torque wrench

Taking out the seat works out really well for ice chest and tire-room making:
