Your car is pretty awesome too. I have read most of your post on your dyno runs. I really want to run down the 1/4 mile. This is what will really show me how it is running. But I built it mainly for a fun toy and man is it ever. Good luck with yours.

Anyway the wheels are custom one off Weld Wheels. The rear I am running a 17x9.5 with a 315/35 Nitto 555r. In the pic above though it was when I had my 275/40s in the rear. Now it looks way better with the hugh tire under there. The rears have 6.375 backspacing. It is very tight and this is the biggest tire I could get at this ride height.

The front is a 17x8 with Michelin pilot sports 235/40/17. They have 5.375 backspacing. No rubbing.

Thanks! I would like to run down the 1/4 mile as well, but there isn't one anywhere close by. I can drive a few hours out into the country to an 1/8 mile track, so I just might go give it a try one day. I'm hoping to get mine fired up and tuned on the dyno this week with the new cam and carb. Then I can finally get back out there and terrorize my neighbors some more!

I'm guessing that yours shakes the ground a bit as well, especially with those mufflers and dumped 3" exhaust!

It would be interesting to see what kind of times yours could run with and without the nitrous. I'm sure it is a blast to drive on the street and it looks like it could be a show car as well! Now the trick is keeping it that clean!
Good luck!
