Default Been on here for a bit but dont think i ever introduced myself

Hello, i am from nebraska and love to tinker on things. Whether its my car, a bike,rv or my home. I just like to stay busy and keep my mind occupied.
i have been building my 94 z28 for about 2 years now and sometimes its a major headache not knowing some things. But i continue on and read alot.
I built a lt1 383 stroker for it with le3 heads, forged internals, dekka 80s

and put a m122 supercharger, i did the 411 swap also. Its not the prettiest nor the best but hey, its mine and my build so im proud of my accomplishments with it. Tuning it is out of my league and i have been through 6 tuners which is a bit extreme beings they are all well known. But hey, it will get there some day and i can not wait.

Hoosier 28 fronts are ET 26s
Thank you. I was trying to do something different then everyone else. I'm hoping its gonna be a beast too once i can figure out whats wrong with my little red wire to the alt. Been trying to figure it out for 2 weeks now and am lost. Tuner stopped until i figure it out because its throwing my pcm off.

I was curious what brand wheels you had, not the tires. They don't look like any I've seen before.

I don't know if I can bring myself to run big and littles on my Formula again. My car is built to be a sleeper of sorts, so that look gives it away. Those are definitely an option if I did, however.

I'm with you. I'd like to find a rear 17" wheel that matches my front CCW 505s as much as possible.
