There haven't been any real deal #'s posted that I can find for the RWD crowd. I'm running 10:1 compression which is what I considered a safe bet. I worry about running higher compression here in a DD as our premium is only around 89-90 octane if we're lucky even at our altitude.

I'm guessing something like 230whp through the stall, but I don't really care too much about dyno #'s. I would settle for breaking into the 13's with this car.

Wheels are back from powdercoating, pics after I go work out...

I just about jumped for joy when I peeled back the lid of the box and saw them. They'll look just perfect on the car.


As promised! Need to get some lugnuts, center caps and valve stems. Probably going to run spacers to get them more flush with the body lines of the car (have ARP studs available, not looking forward to pulling rear axles)...Oh yeah and tires too!

Probably going to put the speedline spoke logo back on but in black this time. Unless I find some speedline center caps that fit, but these are going to require a 70mm back center cap. I can drop a 20oz can through the hub opening and not touch.
