    ive been thinking about this van doing 140 for 2 days, i think i even dreamed about it. the front end shake might be from all the weight coming off the front wheels. those vans were not made to go that fast, and it might be wanting to fly away. what gear do you have in the rear end? if youve got all that top end on the road, and run 106 mph at the track. slap a taller gear in it and run 115 - 120 at the track. that would be a fun ride!


    Live everyday like it were your last, someday it will be.

    I got the front end fix. dont shake at all now , when i was at the track i hadent had a chance to get on it, was just set up for how i drive on the road so front tires where at 32 and back where at 30 (BF G-force drags) as for the gears i am running 456 and the tire i am running right now are smaller then the slicks(slicks are 31 12.5 x 15 so thats the right tire for what i am looking for on the track) what i need is my axels to stop brakein. went we some 1 that sold me junk, live and learn lol aslo my rpms where only at 5500 going through the light and my start time was BAD!!! lol I should be shiftting at about 6800-7200 then it will pull the way i want it to, been thinking about a bigger cam when i start the NOS we c how it pulls with the 665, as long as i can get 10s then i will be very happy
