ANY ONE RUN THIS SIZE WITH A LOT OF HP
LOCAL TRACK IS RUNNING A HEADS UP SERIES AND THEY ARE STARTING A 26 8.5 CLASS
GOING TO BOLT ON A PAIR AND SEE IF I CAN PUT THE HURTS TO SOME FORD AND CHEVYS
3150 LB AMX WITH OVER 1000 HP SHOULD BE FUN

500 hp maybe all right, but 1000 HP may be a bit much for a 8.5 tead width slick.
Maybe call Mickey Thompson and ask their max recommended HP for a 8.5 slick ?
Have had success using 8.5 slicks with 400 hp at the flexplate.

Try it, worst that can happen is they go up in smoke and you crash Of course that can happen anytime.

if your chassis is set up good it will hook.. hell i know mustang guys who are running dot drag radial with that much hp or more and getting crazy 60 ft times. one of the guys on another forum just went 7.80s and over 175 with a 1.26 60 on 275 drag radial... you can hook on slick are you going to run a stick or auto?
