1/4 mile times faster with wheel change
been running iroc wheels on front and steel gm wheels on back with drag radials running at a 1/8 mile track, made 8 runs from 10.37 to 10.41 range
60ft times 2.18 to 2.20 running 65mph
installed weld draglites and changed nothing else went to 10.15 to 10.19
and 60ft to 2.11 2.13 @67mph.
i'am sure to big gains has alot to due with low horsepower 190 i think
bone stock 305 tbi and maybe a .5 of that was weather (a little cooler)
than last time out)
next change will be going from 2.73 to 3.73 rear gear.
just some useless info for any body intrested

Yea, allot of people dont realize how much a set of lighter wheels and tires can be of help.

Air can make a big difference....so can tire psi. Interesting info all the same.
