Oh, believe me, I do understand what you mean about one thing leading to another LOL, I'm knee deep in that myself at the moment. I puke #5 and #7 out of my stock shortblock, next thing you know there'a a 402 under the hood built for a 400 shot, th400, etc.etc. and with shitty 60 foots, it's running high 10's.... I know all about it. And there's a plate kit sitting in my garage that's going on this year as well.
I'd love to be able to do that to my car someday..... maybe when it's actually fast enough so the speed is impressive, I'll be able to work on making it look 110%

Looks great. Your car had to be one of the hardest running cars with a 150 shot. Lord knows what it will do with direct port. Congrats.

Wow, I'm digging that a lot.

What made you decide to go with the 12 inch wheel over the 10 inch? I know it allows more contact patch, but what else? Did you have to move around the lca mounts and stuff? Those the wolfe offset lcas?

I have a set next to me right now. I'm trying to get all the details ironed out.

Thanks

looks real good, the only thing that jumps out at me is the front Strange shock set up. why not use the upper alum. spring mount that came with it? i dont think they are ment to be used w/ the stock rubber spring mount. if i recall someone on here had it set up the same way and over time it rubbed through the mount
