what wheel and tire are you running. my 275 pro's on a 8" wheel rub on both sides if I turn hard no damage to tire but it cleans the paint off the wheel well on both sides. and it bugs the hell out of me. I'm thinking about going back to a 28 11.5 et street bias again just for the room.

Def a nice clean install-its almost like my build, except I went 6.0 and A body, but I was able to get 4" to the rear bumper, 2 mufflers (I like to hear my music, lol)
Interesting on the fuel usage, on 93 octane, 12.6 lbs, I was seeing over 400 lbs hr., 40% on the 120's, If I up the boost I would think maybe 500, so thinking maybe the E85 is about 150 lbs over 93? I was running it rich though.
Based on my poor outing a week ago, no traction, first time out, if you hook the 9's are there-gonna be a long winter, lol

We'll see on the 9s! As far as fuel usage, E85 is roughly 30% more than pump gas. So the math is right. 30% of 500 (if you turned it up) is 150. That would be 650. I could be way off, but it makes sense.

The wheels are Weld RT-S 15x7.33 with a 4.5 inch backspace. I've got plenty of room inside and out with the 275/60 tire but my rearend is also narrowed a half inch from stock on each side. When the car ran 10-teens that was on a 28x9 slick. No traction problems at all, but this combo makes more midrange torque for sure. If you can get a handle on the suspension, you can always try a 255/60R15 radial. Same size as a 28x9 slick. I know what you mean about tire rub. Drives me nuts, but so far I haven't had any issues nor do I foresee any.

Do you pull the trans more than you drive it? Lol. The car was on the ground when I previously owned it. It looked cool but getting under it was a pain. Jack wouldn't fit anywhere, putting it on the trailer sucked, etc. This time, I complimented it with taller tires to give the illusion of it being lowered. I like the taller tire look anyway really.
