From what I understand you can run a 15x10" rim with 6.5" Backspacing without problems. You might have to grind the caliper some depending on the design.

I know Bogarts and some Weld Wheels do fit. I'm opting for a set of Weld Pro Stars in a few weeks I'll let you know how they go.

ur best et was that with nos?

unfortunately yes, that was before the tune on a warm evening. Best 60ft. was 2.19. That was easing out of the clutch at about 2500rpms, basically a very very conservative launch. I was dissapointed with the nitrous times, but it was my first and only time out on the spray.

For what it's worth there were 3 03 Cobra's at the track, and only 1 ran a quicker E.T all had 2-3 less miles per hour then me....he had drag radials, intake, exhaust and pulley I believe.

Off the spray before the tune, clutch, flywheel, and al driveshaft It pulled 8.92 @82 miles per hour.

Now that the car is tuned I'm going to get more aggressive with my launch technique, I've got the new injectors, Upper and Lower control arms, and maybe some Drag radials and wheels on the way. The car should be good for Low 7's at low-mid 90's miles per hour once I get the nitrous dialed in and driving technique down.

My cars best time was a 8.60 @ 79mph with nothing but 245/45 dr's,intake spacer,3.73 gears,cold air,pullies and welded on flows!

Traction and launch is where the E.T. is. My 82 miles per hour is a 7 second time slip with traction. i've got traction aids coming, upper and lower control arms. HPM Megabite Jr. Lowers, Steeda Aluminum Adj. uppers and some Weld Pro Stars with Mickey Thompson E.T. Street Radials and a 5,500 rpm launch will get the car cooking like it needs to be.

Congrats on the 8.60 thats a killer time considering the mods.
