What size Hoosier QTP's did you have on your car?Just curious was thinking about trying them next year on my car.

Thanks Mark.

Mark they were 28X11.50X15. Like I said in my earlier post they worked well with the 468 but this 528 is a little too much for them Thanks alot Blake no just joking I love it

Do you still have them and how many passes on them?

Thanks Mark.

Yep still got em. As a matter of fact I will be getting them taken off and the ET Drags installed today.

The QTP's have 40 passes on them and maybe 30 miles of street driving.

My cousin was looking for a set of tires,i don't know if he's looking to buy new or used.I might see him Saturday i'll ask him and let you know.

Thanks Mark.

cool build, do you get down to milan at all? it would be great to meet up with somme bbf guys there.

Been awhile so here's an update.

Time slips from my last time out. Only 2 passes and I shut it down. The ET Drags grew a little and I got some tire rub on the tire face. It put a little groove on the passenger side. Didn't want to destroy a new set of tires. So I spectated the rest of the day. Wheel well work to happen this winter and some suspension mods too. Want to get those 60' into the mid 1.30's or less

I'm car 29

A little update on my suspension dilemma. Got a little educated on stock suspension set up. Thanks to Tony aka yellowhorse7 for all his input and turning me to go see Dave at Team Z in Taylor here in Michigan

The old

Now I got to set pinion angle and get the rear wheels centered. Then I'll probably take it to Team Z and let Dave work his magic
So hopefully this turd will 60 foot better and maybe some 9's will be in my future

Also got some Strange single adjustable 10 setting front struts to install but "MORE FAB WORK" needs to happen so they fit the spindle mounting flange. Going to do a little work on both the rear wheel well lip areas.

Cant wait

No Problem....whatever I can do let me know

Good suspension is key to any stock style Fox chassis working properly. We picked up 3.5 tenths one night just by tweaking the shocks and struts on my buddies Fox. He was impressed to say the least.

Nice upgrades Mike

Nice work Mike, how much was those Strange single adjustable 10 setting front struts?? those came from Dave also??

Yeah D everything came from Dave. His prices are comparable to Jegs and Summit plus you have no shipping. He has the struts listed at $119 each. I got a discounted package deal He's an alright guy
