Drag hardware is all in

I finally got it all set, I will throw this stuff on the beast tomorrow with some pics of the setup. H&R 20mm wheel adapters were recomended by Craig from RPMNorth, instead of spacers, so that is what I went with.

I thought it would be lighter but they came in at 41.5 lbs. The rims weigh 13lbs so the tires must weigh 28.5lbs.

hoosiers weigh 22 lbs , goodyear eagle ss dr's weigh 24 lbs and the mt's weigh 29 lbs. i think the nitto nt-o5 comes in around 27 -28 lbs also. hoosiers win the weight battle as well as the cost battle!! eagles were cheaper and hook very well
chawkins what track are you going to and when? im only about 3.5 hrs from atl and steele al. track lays down vht by the bucket!!

I will talk to Jason as he wants to also run his supercharged m5. Getting a room sounds perfect too. We will be looking more at the end of November but will be in touch. FSN8N, I will be in touch. Want to come to the BIP open house dyno day in October?

I'll be coming down to watch, and be the camera guy.

I might even throw the Crossie on the strip and make a few runs for some comedic relief.

Should be good for low 14's or a 13.99X if the driver (me) is worth a crap.

I'm a twisty road guy, but Steve has tought me a thing or two about the 1320.
