Lookie lookie what the UPS man brought me. I'm so happy.

What can this be? (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b127/indshadow/S10%20LT1%20Swap/wheels-tires.jpg)

So I had to try them and see how they would look.

Oh she is going to look so good (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b127/indshadow/S10%20LT1%20Swap/test-fit.jpg)

I'm getting this all installed Friday so I hope for more pics of her "Dressed to Kill"

I also received all the parts for the coil pack conversion. So with all this and some wiring up of a car hauler, I should be pretty busy this weekend. :)

You might be right. I think I need a bigger shot to turn them.

Thanks for the comments, I've been wanting these for a long time and finally gave in and got some.

They are actually being installed right now. I am heading that way to pick up the trailer. We are off to the races. Well, after I grind down alittle on the rear brake caliber. But we are going to see what some fresh mt drag radials can do. Temp currently is 80 degrees and it is suppose to be a low of 65 tonight. OH Yea, we shall see what they can do. I am bringing my camera and camcorder for some pics and video.

Had to clearance the rear brake calipers as Lxtacy stated. So as a reminder for those who have or want rear disk brakes, the calipers have to be ground down and possibly use 7/16" spacers to clear everything. I'm going to try to grind the calipers down enough to run without the spacers. Fronts fit perfect.

I know how we love pics here ,so I will get some today promise. ;)

Lxtacy forgot his helmet and had to borrow one from a friend. He got a new best N/A time for the Blazer. But we had a few gremlins in the juice area. once that was figured out and a new bottle installed the friend left with the helmet.

So that left my youngest son to drive the rest of the night. His times were still in the same range as they have been. 9.1's but he was getting better reaction times. So it wasn't a total bust. It will take time for him to get everything just right. We still do not have him shooting it. We are making sure he is comfortable behind the wheel before then.

I was running 275/60/15 MT drag radials for a while. Still coulden't hook up. Went to Hoosier Slicks and still spins a little. I think we need a line lock. Anyways looks killer!

Alot of our Mustang friends run that size and their cars weight probably an easy 1000 lbs lighter. The blazer with its weight and stock stall converter , leaf springs and a set of lakewood traction bars for an s-10 are on it. Haven't had an issue yet with wheel spin. But we do not have all that power that everyone else has yet. But if so, daggers will most likely solve that issue anyways. I have some videos that I will upload later. About to head to Columbia and pick up some things and run over to 434's house and harass the shit out of him and lick his paint on the truck, as my monitor is coated with saliva everytime he posts pictures of it.
