Well, I havent tried them yet. When I ran my 13.7 I was on DR's I heated them up real good like I was told, and what would have been the best run for my truck, I blew the tires. Last time, I had some problems on teh 28"slicks (true slicks) but I think it was cause of the ricers dragging H2O on the starting line. If you heat em up, they should hook.. I know a few guys coming and at least one has some a little bigger than mine, but you have to ask him to use them.

Hmm you may have somethin I may want to borrow. BTW why not ride with one of us, and at least watch. I may want someone else to drive my truck for me.

went by the tranny shop today and they were already done rebuilding it, they were barely going to start putting back in the truck, he said it would be ready by 5pm but, I go in to work at 5pm... so I got to wait until tomorrow to pick it up! I cant wait to see how it feels with the built tranny.....
I'll post up on some results tomorrow and see how it works!
oh wait, do I need to go through a break in process??? I know on my 94 silvy when I did my tranny, the guy that rebuilt (i dont even remember where it was?) it told me to test drive it and to drive it just how I usually do.. he said thats the only way you know if its going to hold up..... so I dogged the **** out of it with him sitting right next to me!!, I sold the truck about 40kmiles later and it was still running strong!!
