Ya I was debating on a new wheel and tire combo for mine. I don't like to run drag radials and I want to go bigger than a 18".

Lol, well with lots of power its going to be useless to run around on street tires I have some street tires on my car right now but the car is down for a clutch install, but once it's up and running and broken in I'll be putting my
new Nitto 335's I have sitting here.

Ya I know I wont be able to get on it hard. Was going to keep the DR's on the side for those special occasions. I just don't feel right about driving drag radials all the time.

Yeah I know what you mean, you pay $600+ for tires that will only last a couple months of daily driving. I figure once the weather starts to get a bit better I'll be riding my R1 to work so I'll keep miles of the DR's.

Very Nice John! Doesn't even look close to overspinning that D1SC-that pulley doesn't look that small. The D1 flows just as much as a Novi-but hit's harder IMHO.

I cant imagine not using drag radials for a daily driver. I have ran them on all my street cars for saftey as much as anything. I run 18" by 315's on mine. It has no traction in the first 3 gears with the drag radials, the street tires are just plain scary.
Very nice ride btw. How much torque did you make with the stock cubes?

Best color! I'm in the process of having an ECS D1 put on my Z06 in the next month or two. How do you like the ECS blower cam? Where did you get the seats from? How much did they cost? Are they comfortable? Did you have to custom fab anything to make them fit? Freaking awesome car. I can't wait to get mine done. Sorry for all of the questions.

You will not be disappointed with the ECS Blower cam or anything that they do. The only word to describe the power is BRUTAL.

Car pulls like a Busa or ZX12/14

Seats I got from a guy in Louisiana who has a C5-R 427 car. They are comfortable. They installed in about a hour with no issues. They bolt right to the stock seat tracks. They are expensive new, but I got a great deal.

Nice car.

Big brake packages are a pain as it's difficult to get the correct off-sets on rims for the correct fit.
