    yeah its a t-56 and 20's next season im going to run some slicks... im not sure what my pinion is supposed to be set at and if there is any other way to adjust it without using shims i already have 4 degree shim in there. because it was WAY off. i still believe its a bit off though.

    Shims??? Check that thing again.. You should not have to shim it with the right lowering kit.. Your truck has 8's in it easy! just make sure it is setup right! I spun my slicks through first gear tonight and still ran low 8's you know we have basically the same setup!

    well i have a bell tech 4/6 flit kit and as far as i knew your not supposed to have to shim flit kits... so im kind of confused as well. and i know we have almost the same setup and it makes me mad haha. but arent you running nitrous? i still spun and the rear tires hopped a bit so i know theres more left in it.

    Nice times. Don't worry you will hit 8's. My first runs I was hitting 10s and now I run 9.4 at 79 all day long lol.

    You need Caltrac bars on there. That will stop your wheel hop and spring wrap-up.
