00SS4780: Best its ever run was an 11.61 with a 1.49-sixty though it typically runs in the low 11.70's. I looked at your pictures of your car and it looks awesome!
Camaro396: Thanks for the compliment! Your car was the first I had ever seen running the Greg Weld DragStars and I liked it so much I had to buy a set to see how they would look with the Bogart rears.

I went with Holeshot wheels since they offer custom offsets and more options than the off-the-shelf companies.

What size rear tire is that and does it rub?

I believe it's a 29.5 tire, and I think the car is mini tubbed.

How much is your car lowered in the rear, I pulled the isolator out of mine is all....So I was wondering your setup with the hotchikis springs? Are they a drag spring or what?

They are what Hotchkis calls their "Sport Coil Springs" which lowered the car 1". I left in my rear isolators and they seem to work fine for me at the track. I just purchased an Eastwood fender roller tool and once I roll the fender lips I'll see how the tires look with the isolators removed.

Gotcha. I'm going to do that too. But I'm trying to figure out how large (OD) I can go and clear the other wheel well. (Front to back)

Here's my latest set-up. Just put these on a few hours ago.
Front: Weld 15x3.5 with M/T Sportsman Frontrunners (26x7.5)
Rear: Weld 15x8 with 275/60/15 BFGoodrich Radial T/A's (No DR's yet, my M6 and stock 10 bolt rear probably wouldn't agree with that)
