funny you should bring that up, P.O.R.N. would run 4l in the sand dunes when he drag raced. he always had problems with braking cv shafts.
He had Baja Claws, I think they measure pretty true but I dunno.

I do 5.13s.

I had 488s with 36x15r20s and it was fine. I talked to **** and he said he liked his with the 513s, I guess its all up to u. IMO, its not tooooo much, just borderline.

I thought you were going with the 488s already so I did not post that. I had a cammed and stalled 6.0 with d60,14ff and 36s and 20s. Tons of weight, I still got 15 or so.
