The jegs/summit's have knock offs are under 200 each about 160 for the rears and 140 for the fronts. The web site I ordered mine said they clear the stock brakes we shall see

I think andy was talking about the prostars. I know the BS's are expensive, I wanted race stars but I got a steal on the rear prostars I couldnt pass them up.

My main goal wheel-wise is to get wheels that are lighter than my stock chromies.
I like BS street lites a lot more than pro stars but $1K is out of my price range, especially when I won't be able to DD them for a while because of the rubber currently on them. Darrell, if you ever decide to sell them without the rubber I'm highly interested.

I'll take the new plugs Chris. I'll need them eventually.
I have a couple things for sale, guys.
NGK TR6 V-Power spark plugs
I have 2 sets of NGK TR6 V-Power plugs. 8 are brand new, never opened. 8 were used for maybe a couple hundred miles. They are very clean with no defects. Ill take $15 for new plugs and $10 for the used plugs.
-8AN Nylon braided hose
I have 2 brand new pieces. One piece is 74" long and the other is 67" long. This is good hose and can be used for many things. Ill take $30 for the long piece and $25 for the shorter piece. For this much hose, you will probably spend between $90-$105 to get it from speed shops.

I hate when u see people with carbs put there idle at like 500 Rpms lol plus will kill ya plugs. U will find that most tuners set it at 900-950 with that cam u will have no problem making it chop hard. U see a lot of The 224 size can guys try to lower idle to make It lope harder lol

I wasn't trying to be either just giving help full info. I've done a few Carb setups on lsx motors and helped a few friends too. This is no SBC. Trust me u will find out 500 rpms is to low. U get those guys that want to try to get more of a lope out of their cam by putting idle so low causing low vacuum among other things. From your response that must be what your doing. Its your car do with it what u want.

I have never set idle at 500 to make my cam sound bigger. I know what cam is in it so whats the point lol. I like mine to stay somewhere in the 750-800 range. Ill set it where it likes best. I dont tune to make it sound good i go for performance. Ill keep moving the tune around until its set on kill.
