    LOL - Hal, we keep posting at virtually identical times. The DR's were mentioned in the post right before yours. Posted ONE MINUTE before your post. You obviously never wuold have had a chance to read it. Check my edit (and your quote) in the prior posts.)

    Talk about missing each other my a mere minute...

    Did you get the exact same tires as Jeremy, I picked those out, and I still think they are the best ones out there. Once the 3.55 gears are available, we will put a taller tire on there.

    I heard 3.73's. But I'd be happy with 3.55's:yahoo:

    Not only am I gettint the exact same tires. If Jeremy happens to get to Indy in the next couple weeks, I'm just buying a spare set from Jeremy.

    I agree - best possible tire currently. I got M&H frontrunners on 4" skinnies up front that are the same overall diameter as the rear tires, so it may look less goofy.

    I am not sure which ones are coming first, but I would rather have the 3.55's, but 3.73's will work also.

    Very cool, we should be getting some skinnies soon also, then I want the new suspension.

    Pedder's has some good stuff for tightening the suspension and eliminationg wheel hop as we know it.

    Wheel hop on these cars with high torque levels can't be eliminated without controlling rebound and compression damping via an adjustable shock.

    When is the Afco setup going to be ready? I say you and Jeremy line up side by side for the first race in March. We will have our boost-a-pump working with our 175 direct port setup right beside you.

    Afco setup is ready now. I think I'm picking up the first shipment in person this coming friday. Final production parts have been on my car for one week. I think I can ship sets as soon as next Saturday, as I won't be home until late Friday night.

    Sorry - missed your post. See above. I think the first sets will be in my hands for sale by Friday. Production pieces are all done.

    One of the things I did was to verify fitment with the 1,000 HP halfshafts, as those require a little more clearance. Clearance was verified last weekend.

    Project is complete!!!!!!

    (I'll post a big formal intro in the appropriate vendor forum when the parts are in my hands)

    Is Jeremy running a Maximizier or progressive setup on the 175? He's probably going to blow the tires off if not. Single stage?

    Hmmmmmm. I read all this, I need a converter, and now still don't know which one to get. I won't hit the track NEARLY as often as all you guys (maybe a few times a year, if that), so I need something that has good street driveability, but can still take a beating. Any recommendations?
