Has run a best of 8.99@ 149. Crosses the stripe at 72-7300. I run a 33x16.5 tire now thinking of going to a little shorter tire on the next set.

Just something to think about.

How short ya Going Beast, Your rpms sound close...how much you want to turn that 540 ?
Probably to a 14x32 or 14.5 x32 got to check the rollout #'s

Well B I was thinking 250-300 more at the stripe. I really need to get the thing on a dyno and find out what it makes and at what rpm.
