Also slicks are less likely to wheel hop like most irs cars will do. I still didnt risk it on the irs either way. Only thing to grind if you have a irs is the top of a few bolts( brake line bolt, and a bolt on the side of the irs mount if you run wide tires) and also alittle off the bottom control arm depending what size rims/backspace you run. I ran the stock 3.55s and about 600ish hp and had no problems.
Damn 600HP is pretty stout. I will probably never get close to that. I'm thinking that a 15" wheel/slick is the best bet for me. Anyone have a 15" wheel for sale??? lol..
