I don't run tubes. Maybe I should. I was told not to by the guys who sold them to me. We are not 140MPH cars and hey, if you can't handle a tire coming off the rim at only 115, what kind of a driver are you? 
My clutch gave out after lots and lots of abuses & 7,000 RPM launches so I can't really blame it. I installed it around February, 2002 so I got service out of it. It was not an ACT. It was a PFS street clutch, whatever they were using at the time. Peter Farrell told me when I bought it that it would not hold up if I was going to drag race but what the hey. Your ACT street/strip ought to be just fine.
I sure hope we get a change in the weather for Friday night. Right now it's still "scattered thunderstorms" for Friday.
And those wheels! Big Bucks! Why don't you loan me some money so I can buy a corporation or two?

Richie cut me a very attractive deal on the rims, thats why I went ahead and put the money down for them. I dont think I will ever see this good of a deal again. Hell buying some SSR's from tire rack with s-03's would have cost me 400-500 dollars more depending on shipping.
Peter Farrell installed my clutch. The previous owner told me it was an ACT, so I really have no clue whats in there.
The guy that mounted the tires for me drag races. He told me not to run under 15 psi. I'm sure it will be ok to run lower PSI, its just gonna get really scary at the other end of the track. I was running 25psi just for some street testing. At speed they do like to make the rear end really happy. Oh well, it will make my 60 foot times drop a lot! I'm also not really worried about smoking my clutch if it isnt an ACT model. I just see it as an excuse to upgrade!

The place is called Tony's performance exhaust. That price wasnt for headers too it was everything behind the headers and I know the guy so he cut me a deal. I may see what EIP could do for a set of headers. I am using them for my intake, they definately seem to be the best place around that i have found.
