Other than that I plan on putting the car on a minor diet and shooting for 11s next year. Good luck to everyone with their builds.

No the rear wheels are a direct fit and I'm going to run an 1/8" spacer on the front to clear the calipers. I might not have them mounted until spring time since my car will be in storage. The wheels will probably sit in my room over the winter so I have something to look at. I'll be sure to post some pics.

Probably a fast cruiser like a C6Z and maybe a 5G Camaro for the track.

Tom's car will have an Ultimate 9" converter and after speaking with Lenny today it should hit hard

I plan to do some interior stuff..carpet, mats, radio, amp and stealth box. Tom is removing weight for the race car and I just keep adding weight to my cruiser

I may do something trick with my Street Lites since everyone is buying these things now. damn it!

My winter project is a cam, heads, stall converter, tranny cooler, shift kit, driveshaft safety loop, torque arm, torque arm relocation kit, and subframe connectors.

Heads, hotchkis springs, koni's, get the CME blended and painted, and finish the engine bay. Going for show and go..just cant afford to go much faster than heads and cam. I'm with DTB, going for 11's. Hopefully my clutch lasts a little longer than yours...lol. Maybe some spray sometime next year

Larry, if i install heads..will it be safe to drive it back to you guys for a re-tune??? i'm about 1.5-2hrs away
