    My truck traps at 77 with a 2.1 60' and traps at 76mph with a 1.9. Seems like the better the 60', the less mph you trap.
    You are correct.

    • I don't understand why teenagers can't work and go to school at the same time. It builds character, teaches them how to handle money, and it teaches very important other skills such as time management.

      I started working 2 days after i turned 16. I played football in HS, I was in NHS, and i graduated in the top 10% (#22 of 350+ students). Before I was old enough to have a real job I mowed lawns. Colleges also like seeing that you can handle more than just schoolwork and being babied by parents.

        I'd like to see what my car would look like with chrome ponys too.
        Just do a four wheel swap and roll out there in style. I'm not sure what the weight difference is in them, though.

          I had some decent 245s for a while and they did pretty decent on the street, never took them to the track.

          When I put my springs/shocks/control arms on I will recheck everything to try and find out why it doesn't like to hook.

          Any suggestions on where to start? The only suspension mods are welded subframes, front sway bar unlocked and flipped quad shocks.

            It's not a matter of babying them. My son is a full-time highschool student with AP classes, involved heavily with Civil Air Patrol, baseball and his church's youth group. He is building character the way he feels he needs to, so I am obligated to clear his path for him to successfully reach his objectives. His time is worth more than minimum wage.

                  Shit. Now that I think about it... I have a set of welded stock uppers for a fox rear. If my wife can find them, you can have those too.

                      re-reading because it had been a few days since the last time a had read this particular thread

                      ill wager you need to get off his dick, just sayin
                      Between how difficult it was to clean up your post (just to get this sorry misspelled final product) and your ability to continually prove that you have the qualities of an idiot while pointing your black little kettle finger at others, I can say that you shouldn't worry your head about trying to understand the comments you reply to. It is obviously too straining for you. Now, go think about your man on man sex some more, since that seems to be your "go-to" move when upset.

                              I was holding back on the spelling until I really needed it. Once is understandable, but three posts in a row? While trying to call someone else an idiot? LMAO!

                                The control arm bushing were always the first place I looked. If you are replacing those, then I would just check the mounting areas and torque boxes for stress. I used to weld in reinforcements for the control arm mounting locations for that.
