Default Back in the LT1 Game

Been a while since I've been on tech. Last lt1 car went 11.60 @ 118 mph with LE1 heads, cam and 150 shot, Sold It Bought and ls1 car that I put an eps cam headers and 150 shot, It went 11.51 @ 120mph, sold it lol. Messed around with some turbo dsm's and such, sold all of them. Now back to an lt1 car lol This car will be a fairly simple build, Its already got a lt4 hot cam kit in it with a fresh lt4 4 bolt bottom end, 6 speed car with spec 2 clutch, still rockin the 3.23 gears because it started life as an auto car. All I'm doing to it is a nitrous outlet 58mm plate kit and be done with it. Should make for a fun street car.
When I picked her up last week.


New Wheels and tires and a quick wash and wax.

That's because you have the wrong back space

I realize its the wrong backspace, but centerline doesn't make them in the right backspace and I got a helluva deal on them at last years ltxshootout. His appear to be the same as mine so I figured I would ask if he had an issues with rubbing since he appears to be stock height.

Thanks Clark. I heard you went 10's with the hotcam. Very Nice! The wheels on the car seem to have plenty of clearance everywhere. Not sure on back spacing? I bought them used but the guy I got them from said they were made just for my car.
