Lil Help for Lil Sleeper
MODS, this isn't intended to be serious(), but if someone steps up and helps me out, I'll take the offer...
This may not be permitted, but I need to rent or borrow some 18 inch wheels and tires for my runs in Chandler... I see so many peeps getting drag radials, I'm feeling the need for some serious rubber to back up my build in case I can't get any wheels and tires by then... Tire Sponsors wanted... I'm still trying to find some 18 inch vette wheels and then I'll worry about rubber...

I appreciate that, I'm actually doing this in response to Camaro21 and a couple of others showing the drag radials and wheels they are bringing... I'm going to talk to my builder and see what he has laying around the shop... I really want a soft sidewall slick, so it doesn't hit so hard on the drive train... Dont want to break thee diff or driveshaft...

well they are installing 1400 hp rated axles, and a 1400 ft/lb clutch to spin up the 850 plus HP we are hoping for... so the diff drive shaft and transmission are the weakest links... I figure the DS or the diff will give up first...

I can bring along a spare set of factory axles in case someone breaks one... then I can dispense them as needed... if needed...I'll have one left and one right available...if there is a right or left...
