I may have an excellent opportunity to buy a set of rims and tires, however I have never understood the proper offset and backspacing needed. Also, what about the tires, will the overall OD be the same as OEM? Here are the specs: The wheels are Cobra Replicas in Gloss Black with a...

Just finished up today on my first spring project. Took me all but an hour to install, not all that difficult. I'm really diggin' the front without the license plate, but in NY it's a requirement. I would hate to ruin such a nice bumper and drill holes, so I'm going to see how long it takes...

Just got back from etown today...and what a great day for racing! It was high 40's low 50's°F so my car was running very good. Can I get a drumroll please........... Run 1 R/T: .238 60': 1.958 330: 5.490 1/8: 8.223 MPH: 90.30 1000: 10.548 1/4: 12.482 MPH: 117.35 Run 2 R/T...

Well I finally was able to squeeze off some runs with the Mongoose kit. Sunday at Englishtown was very windy, so instead of 1/4 mile they were only running to the 1/8th! :notnice: Next weekend I'll be going back to run it in the 1/4. But alas here is my best time slip of the day. R/T...

Well got a good taste of what it's like to take down a $120+ Porsche this afternoon. I was cruising at 50 mph on a 2 lane stretch and I can see him coming up from behind. He tails behind me for a few seconds then proceeds to go to the left lane to make a flyby....DENIED!! I dropped to 3rd...

I'm not one to post about my personal life, but I feel compelled to present my current dillema. I'm a Design Engineer for a manufacturing facility. I've worked for this company for nearly 4 years now. At first, the job was exciting..but this past year has been slow for me. I've had my mind...

I tried to search on this, but had no luck... When hooking up my autometer boost/vac gauge to a red vaccum line, does it have to be the same vaccum line I'm tapping to for my bypass valve? There are many red vaccum lines under the hood, will they all serve the same purpose?

Got my baby on the dyno today and here are my results on 2 pulls: 351.95 rwhp/346.31 rwtq 351.60 rwhp/349.10 rwtq Both runs my A/F ratio stayed between 11-12 the whole time. The car is tuned VERY safe from MPH. I didn't have to adjust anything right now...but there's plenty of room to...

Well it's official...after battling with the brass oil feed fittings, I am officially supercharged! :D The sound is unbelievable..I've got a permanent grin from ear to ear. Hopefully this weekend I should get her on a dyno and I'll be able to give her a nice run on the boost. Many thanks to...

Well I get the idiot of the year award doing my Vortech install.. Got everything done with the installation of my kit, took it out for a test drive and everything seems ok until I open the hood and see oil splattered everywhere! I figured that the only explanation was that I didn't...

I figured I'd share a few photos of my special day. On May 21st I married the love of my life, Danielle. The day couldn't have turned out any better. And of course we couldn't pass up the opportunity for a few poses in front of our baby! After the reception, we both left the reception hall...

Check it out...The "ROYAL" edition V6! This seller cant be serious?!? He clams 260 hp, but then again where's the extra 50 hp coming from, the chrome crown...

Hey all, I wanted to see if anybody here had some good knowledge about my X2C coilover setup could point me in the right direction. Next week I'll be replacing my Steeda 3 bolt C/C plates, and replacing them with a 4 bolt UPR C/C plates. After about 1 1/2 years, I ended up blowing out the...

My very first sighting on the street. I have to say I'm really impressed, gave the guy driving it a thumbs up and a salute for driving a fine piece of machinery! I keep telling myself I'll never buy a black car again. I'm sick and tired of washing my car only to get it dirty again after...

Some simple driveway shots of my car after a nice wash and a wax. I know it's not like you've never seen a black GT before, but figured I'd share with all of you. The reflection of the trees seemed to give a nice look in the pictures :) Thanks DeadLurker for teaching me how to host images...

I'm purchasing a set of weld draglites for my car 15x8's, and I'd like to mount some BFG drag radials. What would be the best tire size for me to use? These are the available sizes for a 15 inch rim: P235/60R-15 P275/50R-15 P275/60R-15 P295/65R-15 My car is lowered, but I can raise...
