Thanks for all the kind words guys, appreciate it. Regarding tire size yes, you should not run 315 drag radials in the back. Under high speed they expand a lot and start rubbing on the inner walls......lessons learned.

i have a question, what type of tires are you guys using at those speeds ? from what i know most of the tires are not good for speeds over 300km/h, maybe that's why your tire blew ?!

Thanks, it was a close call

Very awesome. What power was your car making after the mod? Is that AWD or RWD?
Glad nothing major happend, guess the wheel is toast, any damage to the chassis?

1032whp and the dyno topped out. RWD. No major damage at all, the drag radial was glued to the wheel. Fender walls inside ripped but no major damage to anything else, I am lucky
