Hotchkis makes good parts, i know for the Daks, they make awesome gear and those things handle VERY well.



If you can find those tires for 250 a piece please forward that to me, lol. Most places have them for $300+.

You are correct, most stock XR's run low 15's. We have seen a couple stock guys hit 14's but that is uncommon.
Oh my bad, i meant 250$ for them in a 17" rim size. I looked them up awhile ago. IMO it explained where the handling specs come from. I still can't even stand to spend 180/tire on tires. Heck my current set cost me 270(total) lol.

The dealers around here still wanna have their way with me then. I checked around for awhile when i was having some frustrating times with my truck.(gm dealers are a nightmare to deal with for service). All of them wanted/still want 24/25k msrp and wanna give me like 3k for my truck.

For all that i could do a full 408 swap and kill corvettes. lol

I'd have to imagine that the Xrunner has the same problem as most of us manual trucks on the forum. Grip on a hard launch is a biatch which makes for those few lower than average times.

Ya, its a ton of fun to drive. Not sure if you were just making a statement regarding your feelings for turbos, but my truck isn't turbo'd, its S/C

I'm waiting on new injectors (670 E85's), new tune, and a 2.7" pulley (stock is 3"). Should bump my boost from 6.5psi to 9.5psi (give or take a bit).

I also just made a new thread with a newer vid from the track.

I have my suspension tuned for corner racing, so that doesn't help.
