What's a 325/50 equivalent to in a ET Drag? Do you have any pics of the mini-tub itself? (inside the hatch area, fender well area, before/after pics) Thanks.

Looks killer!

Very nice install. It almost has a factory appearance to it.

The car will sit MUCH lower with the drivetrain in the car, we did ALOT of work to make this possible:

Modded fuel tank so 9 inch will clear



Outside of inner upper fender so tire can go up into fender:



Clearance on trans tunnel for torque arm:



FUEL SYSTEM:











I have pics of the minitub as it was being done, if anyone wants those. Thanks for the kudos, was ALOT of hard work.

Cool idea with that plate covering the fuel pump. In case you drag that bumper.

I doubt the car will ever drag the bumper, we plan on the car having a LOW ride height, rear fender will sit right on top of tire, the plate was really not intended for protection, was just how I figured out to mount the pump where it would be even with the sump on the tank.


Thanks

That looks awsome, that is the exact wheel/tire combo I am planning. I was going to order my rear narrowed 2.5" on both sides & get the convo's with a 5" BS. But I hoped that I could "massage" the wheel well to get the 325's to fit. Did you have to mini tub if you were staying stock height?

If you can run without.. run without.. spacers are bad when it comes to race cars. Put more strain on the studs and puts more room in the mix for problems or wheels not seating right and falling off..

just my 1 cent

AWESOME JOB!!!


i think it would look better (and safer) to not run the spacer in the back, just to get the wheels tucked a little more.

Man... All you guys doing the minitub's are making me want to get mine done quicker than i plan
