Look who finally decided to show up to the party... Well where are the boost pulls? I'm tired of seeing those shitty 30 second neighborhood pulls

I need a tune she keeps shutting off after I build boost. It is legal though so that's a bonus.

Well that's good news. Pop into the tuning section and make thread, I bet you can find out why

yeah it doesn't work very well. We have become pretty decent friends over the past 6months or so, so I stay in close communication with him. He pretty much just got settled into the new place and says his turn around time is dropping every week. My short block is almost done so it shouldn't be long now.

I have my doubts about my 9.5" rear wheels holding any serious amounts of power.. So I ordered up some 11" CCW classics.. John was a super nice guy and very helpful. Anyone want to buy some rotas?

The CCW's look sick. You'll be really happy with those wheel sizes. I agree with you about a 9.5 wheel on the back making that much power.

Rotas are 17X9.5 rears with -19 offset or 4.5" back spacing. The fronts are 17X9 with -13 offset. Rear tires 275/40/17 are Nitto 555R, Tires can you a change soon. The fronts are 245/40/17 I think and have tons of life left. Asking price is $700 but I'm willing to negotiate a bit. Also I can ship anywhere in the world at buyer expense.

Yeah I just don't think I have a chance with a 275.. Hoping the 315 and boost by gear will help my cause.
