Looks great man! Thanks for the pictures, trying to decide on rims is hard... Did you have to do any modifications to the brakes for fitment?

Do you have any pictures of that? Don't think I want to be doing much grinding!

Do you think maybe a small spacer would have prevented you from having to grind down the tabs? The reason I ask is because it looks like you didn't need to grind the inside tabs.

potentially but with how flush the front wheel is already i didnt want it to poke anymore and throw **** all down the side of the car, especially with these sticky tires : /. everything ground on there had to come off the top and bottom tabs were both rubbing. and the center round one was to close for comfort so i took a little off

got a couple vids from the event last weekend but was having some issues with the nitrous system, turns out one of the fuel lines for the spray bar in the blower cracked and broke so i had a nitrous and boost leak all weekend. still managed a 174 on spray and 166.7 on blower only in the standing half mile. im confident this fall when we go back down the car has upper 180's pass in it.



2nd-4th gear pull just blower no spray

getting it back together in a week or so when the blower comes (nitrous outlet is warrantying) back will get some more vids

I think your blower only mph will go up too with more seat time and better tires, because my buddies H/C z06 did 168 with 100whp less. I think you will end up doing low 170s on blower next time

since the car was apart while the spray bar was getting repaired decided to make a few tweaks to optimize the set up. picking up a flexfuel set up from dsteck, adding an ecs alky kit, going to ID1300's (my fic 900s are for sale if anyone needs a set) and looking to pick up an lg world challenge hood when i can sell my stock unit. Also adding a tpis 102. and taking the shot back to a 100 from a 200. retuning later this month

The 1/2 mile is fun isn't it !
I will not do 1/4 mile , only 1/2.
Are your new tires drag radials, or road race tires?
Nice job.
