Traction

I ordered a set of Hoosier 26x9 slicks and I\'m wondering how good they will launch my \'90 Blazer w/ my big fat @$$ in it. I have stock springs 4\"blocks and lakewood traction bars and new generic shocks f/r. A Currie 9\" w/ posi and 4.11 gears, 700R4 tranny w/ Holeshot 3000 converter. Engine is a .040 350 w/ flat tops (4 eybrows), Dart Iron Eagle heads 215cc runners 2.08/1.60valves 64cc chambers angle plug, Comp Cam 274/286 advertized,230/236@.050, .480/.490lift, RPM AirGap intake,Holley 750 Vac secondary carb, MSD ignition.



Thanks

You should have no problems with the 26x9 slick....Buffhomer can pull in the 1.5\'s on a 26x10 so your ok. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

I am so mad at Currie right now. They said my new Rear would be done and delivered on the 20th then they pushed off til the 25th now this morning (24th) I get a call and they tell me they can\'t get Auburn Posi\'s anymore??? WTF???????? I wanted to cancel then they said it would cost me. Now They are shipping it with a Trac-lock but I didn\'t want any Ford parts. Now it won\'t get here til like the 1st of Oct and I won\'t get to race til next year. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_mad.gif

Would they be willing to throw in like a Powertrax locker or some other sort?



FYI, I have the 8.8\" rear in my Mustang. Traction Loc differential, stock axles. All we did was double up the clutches in the clutch pack and add the requisite friction modifier.



It\'s been pulling 60fts 1.6s for a year and just broke in the 1.5s, no signs of giving up yet. NO slippage either.
