Good job. Now that you've reached this level, is there a desire to go faster? As in, was 9's your goal, or is there more in you? Again, good job, best of luck.

the tires rubbing, my mph in the 1/8 is 109-110 trap 135-138 runnin 10.30 -10.50 I have the wrong offset for a "big" tire 26x10x15 et street it's been fun tho I'm almost out of gas !!!!! (54gallon) drum i'm on the same motor from last year !!!!!! thanks to matt a forum member from ohio I will hopefully not have the rubbing issue, he sold me some mazda/ford bbs style drag wheels so i will be at the track in about a week n half I have yet been able to run 35 + psi yet ???? but i will say that by mistake I ran 42 psi safely. jus could not put it to the ground due to rubbing and clutch issues (worped tilton floater plate) and still ran a 10.90 @ 135 mph all over the track, at first i thought the track was shity until i looked at my data log lol ...........

1/8'' rear caliper grind on out board side no problem and clears toe and traling arms easy!
Plus i have 2 sets of et streets and didnt want to sell them cheap and go 15's.

The hole stars and there light lighter than the stockers by far!
The 16'' et is the same heigth as the 15's a little less side wall but more stable up top. I have the 10.5 and the 11.5 et's and the 9'' fits them much better.
Ill get some picts and have a kid post them for me!

Ernie ill get picts this weekend from the inside and outside to show clearence!
I havent tried the 11.5's yet but i have run them with the stock wheels but it looks like they will work fine.
Im entered in a weekend car show [street machine nats] so ill try and post as soon as i can!
I know Rich Bogart and hes a great guy and has built me a set of one off wheels for the front of my gen 2 but he didnt have the 16'' wheels.
I like the way they look and will post soon!
