It seems like piping for that a2w would be much easier if it were on the other side? Why is you go with a street radial as opposed to a lighter et drag, going to see alot of street time? Car looks great!

Cooler will be the first thing upgraded. Going with an in-car setup but this one should be okay just to get some seat time for the new driver.

This car will be driven all the time and I had a spare set of these from last season so we stuck them on there. We will be running a radial class for fun at Milan as well but it was primarily to save from getting tickets when cruising Woodward on Sat. nights.
