Jono Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 there is a yellow ke55 with a 3tgte down this way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kugzs Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) yes its been done before, and yes they go well. Â I know one roll (KE55?) with a 3t that ran 11.6 on slicks (196rwkw @20psi) and another that ran 12.6 in full street trim (181rwkr @18psi). Â In fact i just bought the driveline out of the second one :dance: Â EDIT; the yellow one has now run an 11.3 Edited October 5, 2006 by kugzs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
