It is the billet wheel 88mm/112mm it is the best fit I could find to keep up on the turbine side. Starting out with a 1.08 AR housing we will see how it works out but is based off a similar set up and should provide the steam to be competitive.

Thanks, I had a 67 HT and sold it like a dummy and really was not happy with anything until I managed to trade for this car.
It now has 165-80-15 front tires on it, in the pics it has a set of MT front runners 26" tall the wheels are CAP 5.

Wow it has been a while! Little update decided to sell my 4L80 and go ahead and make the swap to a glide got a smoking deal on a Reid case pro mod glide which should be here in the next week.
Supposed to deliver my 4L80 this weekend to the new owner.
The car is at about 90% done at this point just finishing up the cooling system, wraping the rest of the crossover and finishing the Holley Dominator wiring and a few plumbing task. Waiting on my injectors to get back (I sent them out to have them flowed) then I can button up the fuel system. I will post a few pics of the progress this weekend just a pain to upload them to photobucket.
Looking to make the first hits in September took way longer and way more $$ as it always does LOL can't wait it's been a long time coming!

I am trying, got a clear schedule from now until the race hope to get everything to fall into place and make it. It leaves very little time to get any testing done but I would at least like to have the car there.
