Rich, the tires are BFGs, drag radials in the rear, and yes 18x10 all the way around. As far as spool goes.... I should see full boost at 4200 rpm, maybe lower. Oh and I also got a big street port with "mucho overlap"

Ryan, Jose Fuego with Fuego Racing did my engine. He does great work man. Let me know if you want his contact. He'll hook it up if he knows you're my friend.

what offsets did you run front and rear to make the wheels fit 10" all around? i know rear is fine with 10" but I've always wondered about the front.

I plan on doing a similar setup, gotta love the ccw's

Don't know the offset. I just called up John at CCW, told him what tire size I wanted to run and he said. Did you want 18x10s all the way around? I said, sure!

I've had the FD since late December and been working on it pretty much since then. Oh and that "wet bitches" thing was my brother goofing around, but good eye! lol

Nice work Rey. I know you had your hands full when you got that shell, but it really turned out nice. Bet your folks are happy that you will be spending less time in the garage! Did you transfer that Ti catback to this one?

You had great success planning and organizing the last meet in O-Town. So, now that you are back in the game you can plan another, right My car finally got to an acceptable level for me not too long ago aswell. I will see you around!

Your FD looks mean as hell in that pic, no doubt about it. Those tires say "This **** Means Bizness!"
