What gears did you decide on?
If you don't have wheelie bars at least add some limiters. Mine's been on the wheelie bars on a couple of times. The limiters are doing their job.
Good luck.

(3.25) Yes, I'm going to add limiters, a Friend of mine rode the bumper last year a couple of times and caused ALOT of damage!! It killed me leaving for the track with the 9'' sitting in the floor for the last week with no bracket!

Depending on how high you spin the motor. 3.50 gears should work. I run a 28" tall tire.
Won't be long till there will be a bunch of LS1's in the 8's. Nice job.

How high are you guys running your cars up to?

Nice,the car is going to move.124mph in the 1/8 for a shakedown is awesome.
I'm in the same boat.My rear has 3.70's because I planned on supercharging it with the intention to spin to 8000rpm.Now it's going Turbo. The Mini tubs I have can easilly fit 29's or possibly 30's.Either that or spin it to 8000rpm I guess
The limiter's work the *****.

With that same setup in my car we were on the limiter the last 150 ft at 7K RPM's.

I plan on 3.42's myself. sticking with a 28" r maybe a 29" tall tire.
