Thanks man. Not fustrated at all, love the alero and where is at im not complaining, I just hate that I cant work on it as I wish, but hopefully thats gonna end soon when I move. Its defenetly fun, especially when you try different launch, shifting and all that and get lil faster every time. I want to see picture of your cooling settup and more details about it.

whats with the different rims?

Just a side note to the wheels I was using...

I started off the M&H on stock steelies. They worked, then I went and got some wheel spacers and proper drag rims for the rubber a month later when the track officials got leery. The slicks never slipped on the stock steelies, but the officials at the track thought otherwise, I even had the rim and rubber marked with chalk to prove my point. The M&H are tubeless full on slicks. I was able to launch at just about 6000rpm, & away I went.

And as previously said, I didn't go through the whole thread. Make sure the car is tuned through and through before you go back to the track.

My 2 new wheels were meant to be for the drag radials.... the day before the track my buddy let me borrow his slicks 24.5 m/h so I threw them on my 15x7. and put the drag radials on the steelies and tried them both. Slicks helped to take care of the wheel hop.

Spy so what are you up to now, I thought you were changing platform to a j-body, but I havent been able to follow the build.
