Thumbs up Got my new chrome ZR1's and 295/45/17 M/T ET's on. Some PICS!

Got them about a week ago, love em! They hook a lot better then the Nittos for sure. I've been in the rain a few times with them now and havn't had any hydro plaining problems really, but they are slick as hell on some surfaces wet. They don't pick up as much rocks as my Nittos did either. Since I was puttin the new tires on I had to finish off my Nittos so here's a video my buddy shot. And some pics with my new wheels/tires... Comments welcome!

Hmm interesting...they kinda swallow the rear wheels though and make them look like 17s. I was looking at those about a month ago, when/where did you order them from?

Awesome work on the engine. Thats some great art right there. I would like to know some more about what you did as far as ignition and computer stuff. I got the intake and TB stuff figured out but the computer stuff confuses me. That thing sure does sound wicked. Mad props to you.
