How to be a Grizzly.

[RUQWKNF]

Step one, order some good looking skinnies and 10s.

Check

Step two, order some 28" tall front drag tires and DOT legal 28x10" wide rear tires.

Check

Step three, have the windows tinted dark and get an intimidating license plate frame to entice all the future victims into coming out to play.

Check and Check

Final step, tune the car on good gas with good timing and boost, so she will live up to the motto, "If you're gonna be a bear, be a grizzly."

Sarah reminds me of a gal I knew once...you were captivated by her, but sensed that she was capable of stealing your soul...:biggrin: <-- that's me being green with envy lol

How soon before it gets a 250ci stroker?

 

[RUQWKNF]

Thanks guys.

I went with Moroso DS-2 28x4.5-15 front tires on 15x3.5" Weld Draglites with 1 3/4" back spacing. Out back is 28x12.5-15 MT ET Street bias ply tires on 15x10 Weld Draglites with 4.5" back spacing. Don't let the 12.5" designation fool you, it's only a 28x10.5 slick with grooves. Hopefully it's gonna be a long time before we need to do anything with the motor.

I love the "Grizzly" look on Sarah. I take it that the rear tire/wheel setup don't rub w/ out any mods? Great running/ lookin' "T" you have there.

Welp, I had to install a spacer just yesterday on the drivers side rear as it was rubbing at speeds below 25. This also tells me that the rear end is not perfectly centered in the car. Gotta work on that. I also need to roll my fender lips and trim so that when I do start racing the car again, I won't cut the sidewalls. I gotta say, I installed the 6776RHP that I got from Don, as well as a IC 375 Megacooler yesterday and GREAT MOTHER OF BLESSED ACCELARATION she's flying!!
Don was right, this turbo does sound like a Boeing rolling down the taxi way. Even though I had to fix an oil leak that took me 2.5 hours of frustration, she's ready to rumble now. I'm going to throw in some good gas later this week and properly set the boost. Spool up with this turbo and IC is freakin amazing. This converter is only a 10" lock up that will foot brake 3000 at zero psi and it spools this turbo up very fast.
Anywho, more to come later and thanks for the compliments everyone.
