Oh yeah, I'm lovin that.

I know this motor is an animal in just about anything up to 16 pounds, but yeah 11 pounds would make it crazy!

My tires are finally untaping themselves, can't complain as I got a year out of the tape job. But road runs at full T are not easy now, it gets squirelly. I need to look into some silicone for the diff cups, I have been using STP oil treatment in the cups. I still won't run anything else for the ring/pinion, but the diffs are unloading more than I'd like, which is 100% the reason the tape is coming loose. With these same tires on my Maxx, which was spooled in the rear, the front diff behaved itself.
