Jono Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 there is a yellow ke55 with a 3tgte down this way too. Quote
kugzs Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) yes its been done before, and yes they go well. I know one roll (KE55?) with a 3t that ran 11.6 on slicks (196rwkw @20psi) and another that ran 12.6 in full street trim (181rwkr @18psi). In fact i just bought the driveline out of the second one :dance: EDIT; the yellow one has now run an 11.3 Edited October 5, 2006 by kugzs Quote
