I plan on mini tubbing it but its runnin sooo good with the leafs, i dont wanna change it. Only want to change the rims tires to get more meat, for looks and performance....

I tracked it a few weeks back with Greg and Seig and the car ran fantastic, just need more power and a little more grip, but shes very predictable.

Keith (Custom Works) did the clip, steering, Speed tech, coil-overs, and the Holley/Hooker swap and the car handles very good and is very controlable/predictable......fun to drive.

Went for a 45 min pedal today, 106* out, ugh....good thing i gotta large water like tub in the back yard....
If i had to do it all over again I would just cut out the old wheel tub completely and have a more rounded tub made and bond it to the quarter because you still have to clearance the outer wheel tub when you put a 27" tall tire on the car.

ps Rode my Farly Fat bike with the new Bluto suspension fork Saturday & Sunday and I feel like a kid again. It was a freaking blast !!!
