i don't know for sure with the new setup. but the old motor had a .484 comp purple plus cam M1 single plane 750 double pumper. with 3000 stall and 3.55 gears thru the exhaust with the trans slipping going into high. she ran a 12.50 in the quarter which is a 7.90 in the 1/8. now it has ported heads with 2.14 1.81 valves .557 solid lift cam 850 double pumper 3000 stall fresh trans and 3.91 gears. i also have dropped about 150 lbs with a fiberglass hood and front bumper. i hope she runs a 7.50 in the 1/8 hope to find out real soon!!

I have 18's.  19's on the front will not leave you with much (any) sidewall without going extremely wide, making the car tram.

I'm 225/40 on the front and 275/40 on the rear.

I'm running 30 or 35mm AZA Z-08's from Wheelmax.com.  They're meant for later model cars that have the rotors further outboard.  I'm running a 1" spacer on the fronts.

I love the 18's, but I'd search more/pay more for the appropriate offset in hindsight.

Welcome to the site.  I like the color and I think the wheels on it now set off well with the paint.  Any more pics?
