Sweet that's what I wanted to hear, I love the 6 speed but nothing beats a th400 for drag. I currently have a 315/35/17 on the back for the street and a 28x10.5x15 for the track thanks for the advice!

I had race star fronts with pro rears I thought I really wanted race stars till I got them just didn't really like how they looked. Sold the set for 800 which helped pay for these

I like my race star 17s in front but the RTS welds look way better. Just couldn't swing the new price for the RTS. Had this deal pop up and had to get the race stars lol. Wish the centers on the fronts of mine looked less dumb. I may make some different ones sometime. Took centers out of rears and they look pretty good.

Seems good I picked it up from the shop couple weeks ago just has been way too cold and with all the snow we are getting i haven't had the time to work on it. But parts are coming in daily so i need to get moving and get it back on the ground.
What did you order??

I know what you mean. Its been cold as hell this year! I just picked up a kerosene heater yesterday so of course its suppose to be in the 60's by the end of the week lol

I got wiseco 4.03 3.2 dished pistons and upgraded wrist pins, callies compstar HD I-beam rods, and main and rod bearings. I also got the stage 2 turbo cam package with Martin's suggestion with BTR valvesprings and titanium retainers.

By the way, are you running a wideband o2 setup? if you are, how many and where did you install it?

It's the turbo for Bills car. His thread is the TA S594 Batmowheel build. But it's gigantic compared.
