I would upload photos, but have two issues:
1) IT guy is a wholearse, after installing $3+K server and ******* with my PC, I cannot locate my pictures, of course I pay the bills so he will never return my calls until his monthly fee is due
2) Photobucket sucks, what the fawk did they change

That's awesome man. I've gad my set of full polish sp600's sitting in the garage for about a month or so now waiting for tires and then install. What size tires are you going to go with? I'm pretty sure ill do the 295 30's in the rear but still unsure about front. I def want matching tread though so that will play a part in the decision.

With 295/30/19 on the rear, that's 26" diameter. Front would be 255/35/19.
You could go 255/40/19 fronts and 285/35/19 rears. That will give you about a 27" diameter. Higher sidewall = softer ride.
If you are 'lowerd' . . . yo no se'

Where are you guys ordering wheels for a V? Ive only seen 360 Forged selling them straight from the manufacture, but I dont want to spend $6000 for wheels, not including tires.

Yep, back in October for Mile-Marker 1. The organizer, forgot his name, posts in the Florida section of LS1Tech. For some reason, which I am not wise enough to explain, at 150+mph it appears the back of the V lowers, but the front stays put (look at the wheel gap, my car is not lowered).

Car does pull through 6,600 rpms and can go to 7,200. On my best run, which was 162mph with a passenger, full tank, spare tire, rear seat still in, I guestimate weight to be close to 4,500 lbs; the air temp was over 90, and the humidity was very close to 100%. If I drive her correctly, winding all gears to about 7,000 and get rid of about 350 lbs, I should get close to 170mph. Lowering is a consideration, as I think the wheel gaps on this run prove that drag is not my friend.
