Those 12" rims seem to have made the tires much happier at launch.
Were you able to go up on pressure from the narrower rims?

I am running more like 20 to 21. Likely could go higher.

I raced the Modern Muscle Class that runs heads up off a Pro Tree. We did a chip draw every round. I matched with the fastest Car there in the first round......I was shocked when I hooked and went down the track without any issues. BTW, My opponenet was using a second gear start!

This new rear wheel and tire setup with the final weight reduction might have done the trick. In fact, I have not spun once since I installed them. But you still need decent prep.

A 6.0 second SRT Super Stock went to the semi finals. So, I might luck out and win one day. It sucks because when they announced the Demon 170, I was bragging how I would get my Car and clean up in this class. THEN they all built their cars up MUCH more. Son of a B.......
