Just remember Eric, keep your foot off the throttle for a while, let the new R&P Work-Harden...THEN rip on those tires. :D

Yeah, I was just about to say too... keep the foot out of it for a bit. :P

the guy who put my locker and r&p in has put gears in every kind of performance car from prostock drag cars to stock mustangs, and he told me as soon as i swapped the rear in to beat the hell out of it. he had everything in his shop from 700+ cube drag cars to a prostreet 85 c10. i didn't go easy on mine at all, and have had zero problems

Hell ya man, Now we can really see what that engine can do. Too bad I dont have my truck down here with me.. I think it would be a great race. You went with 373's right?
