My new "street" wheel setup. Just cleaned the car up to take some pics and clean out the garage to finish this car finally. The wheels are CCW SP20A's 18x10.5 in the front and 19x13's in the rear with Pirelli P-Zero Roso's 355-25-19's in the rear. I would lower the car some but my powerglide trans pan is already too close to the ground.
Here you go.

Just search under my name and you will find my posts about the soliid axle conversion. It was not easy and I would not do it again unless I was going mid 8's like Im trying to do. I dont like to break rears the cost 3000 each to get fixed either. I wish that they just made to corvettes easier and cheaper to work on.

What's your rwhp/rwtq Numbers ?? They must be sick !!
Car looks good. You have the mini tub done don't you, to fit those 355 25zr19's ??
Rims and tires really compliment the car. Good combo. Sweet !!

Thanks for all the complements. Yes the car is mini tubbed already for the drag tire setup.
I am finishing up my water tank in the trunk soon then its going to the dyno. I will tune first at 14 psi. Once I get used to the car and get it down the track hookin I will up the boost to 28 psi and see if I cant blow the motor or run mid eights. I built the drive train to be as strong as possible so I have nothin to worry about there. I will be at the LSX shootout in the car in dragradial class. I know I wont be competitive but I am going to make a showing and do some of the first runs with the car. It will not be at full power but I am going there to have a good time and hopefully get some mag. coverage.

Thanks. I took the car out Saterday night to a gathering and It got all complements. I left the meeting and got pulled over by 3 cop cars. They clocked me at 57 in a 30. Gave me a warning and asked me about the car ! They said that they have never seen a car this nasty lookin and that they were hopeing that I didnt try to run cause they were sure that I could probably get away.
Looks real clean update us on the track times when you hit the 8's

Sorry no vids as of yet. I will make one of the dyno and track times after a while. Not anytime soon. If I was going to sell the wheels I would want somewhere around 5000.
