Re: BFG 18" DRs - 11.80 @ 118 (dsk888)
Thanks, Dan.
(I'm running the bigger one's (345's), and my car's at least a half
of a second slower than yours, but I'm still spinning (leaving at idle). I was using 26 psi, so I think I have to drop the pressure and extend the burnout.
Anyway, thanks for the info.)

Are you saying that heads/cam and 100 shot only got you 117 MPH? If so, I wouldn't run that system again until it is fully checked out, as something is definitely wrong. You should be trapping AT LEAST that on motor alone.....and maybe 125-130 mph with a 100 shot....take it back to Norris and put it on the dyno again!

After speaking to a couple of buddies, they told me it could be the stock cats overheating, or creating too much backpressure. Could it be the cats?..dsk888

Thanks for the info. My son works at UPS and told me the Tire Rack has gotten a large order of the new Bfg's. I'm gonna have to pay Luke a visit tommorrow. :cheers:
