Default Paging JSears8.

Hey JSears8,
I was just looking at the pictures you posted today in an earlier thread, that's a sweeet looking machine. I am getting a set of those Y2K Vette wheels for my 99T/A and want to know who's tires you have on there and what size they are front and back. Thanks,

Mark

Thanks Mark. They are 17x8.5 wheels front and rear. Main reason I didn't get the 18s was that Nitto didn't have their Drag Radial out yet. The tires on the front are Yokohama 275/40/17 A520 and the rear are 275/40/17 Nitto Drag Radials. The nittos fit nicely on the 8.5" wheels as they seem to be a bit narrower then other 275/40s, but the front A520s bulge out a little, not much though. I'll see if I can get a good pic to show you.

Justin

<img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> Thanks Justin,

The wheels I'm getting are 18"X 9.5". I'm alittle concerned with the wheel well fit but I have HAL shocks FRT/BK so I shouldn't have a problem, probably have to go with low profiles.

Your times are great, my car goes to Fastech this week for the same heads/cam set up that you have. So I hope to get close to the same numbers, I'll post the dyno #'s when It's done.

Hi Mark I am interested in the dyno numbers myself cause I am going with a similiar set up maybe this summer and I would like to get close to 400 rwhp... but with a slightly bigger cam(possibly) depending on how my street manners will look....... Holla back at me when you get the numbers!!

Justin I was wondering if you will be going to track any time soon and if ya do shoot me an email... I prolly bring my dad this time..... he has never seen an LS1 car go down the track and I would love for him to see you or Jason go down!!!

Josh,

I am putting a LS6 intake manifold and BBK 80MM TB on at the same time. I'm hoping for at least 425 RWHP and about the same torque. I will post the dyno's when it's done next week.
