I found both of you guys to be very informative, I pm'd Spin and he was most helpful although I'm gonna buy a procharger and et streets for the track so what tires will fit the C6 rear rims as I have an extra pair?

Drum,
You have to do what I did......buy new rims. Looking back, I would have bought 17" instead of 18", but its already done!
Just stay away from Nitto's

Howdy!

This is about the coolest thing I've read on the forums recently - two MEN calling an end to some pointless bickering - I read a ton of other car forums and this never happens, people just love to perpetuate faceless internet feuds!

Cheers!!

How is that car running? Being that I let you do some bolts yourself, I have to check from time to time.
Despite my help with the mods the car is running great! I am having some traction and yaw control problems but I think that they are due to your having turned off TM coupled with my novice lead foot. Thanks for asking. When we get together and put in my sissy cam/electric water pump/ud pulley that oughtta finish off the tires too! We look forward to seeing you soon.

Have great evening hatching diabolical schemes for how to make Vettes go faster and faster!

Dude, we are installing a 75 shot to pop on the top of fourth. Didn't I tell you? Oh, it goes much faster with the 4:10s now

Yes, it is very cool to come out and bury the internet hatchet. Big ups to the llama loving nut sack and the big, or unless my public math fails me, resonably sized Dgatto.

No RJ, it cant be true. You had no traction with 3.42's and 500rwhp and now you did the unspeakable....you put on 4.10's. I hear it hooks too! Wow.

Enough sarchasm; it is good to see we came up with a good formula. Now the car is swimming in 3rd and you want to destroy 4th gear traction too?

Just to let you know, your 75 shot will still not let your 403 go faster than my beast.

If the weather clears this weekend, we should get the tune done....again. Call me again but not before 1pm. You know I need my sleep. Retirement.....
