Yeah I am pretty happy Gregg, the TQ #'s are what concern me the most. I will keep you guys posted once we get the new injectors and and finalize it.

Thanks on both parts.

Yeah again, I'm happy. This 383 is essentially a couple more cubes than an LS3 and has cathedral port heads vs the newer square port so she makes some pretty good power as it sits. FYI: My trunk or tank is NOT notched.

We will see, I really love the R888's so far. I might stick with them.

Ryan, What width rear axle did you end up with? what brand tires do you have? I have a DSE mini tub kit for my 69 and Qudralink kit for it I have had for a few years, I have fikse FM5s on it. 18x8 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear. Can fikse rehoop the 9.5 to 12's? Looking at the picts of your Car have inspired me to get mine tubbed and get the Qudralink on. I have been working on the engine. I have a 2006 GTO 6.0 LS2 with a ProCharger DS1 on with a intercooler. I have been working on it for 7 years and I just got to drive it last sunday. Unreal!! Smokes the tires as long as you have it mashed!! All thru second and 3rd! Its a automatic. I have a factory 12 bolt in it now. But I have a 9" I can have narrowed. I have took my time and tried to buy the right stuff, It has all DSE front suspension some Hotchis, Rear leafs are Hotchis, CPP Quick streeing box BeCool radiator with dual fan its a pod I think Has hydroboost brakes on it, ECT!!, Has Caltracs on it now. But I think I'm going to mini tub it and put the Qudralink on it. Any information you can give me would be appreciated!! Thank's Tommy I'll post some picts on here. Its in primer right now!!!

Have you had it out and driven it yet? Guessing the ground may be snow covered up there?

Tommy, yes Fikse can re-hoop your wheels I would contact them direct or one of the trusted vendors on this site.

As far as diff width, It is somewhere buried in my thread but take a look at this recent thread:

https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=40138

I believe alot of guys run 54"-55" wide, 12" wide wheels with anywhere from 5"-6" BS depending on the lip you are looking for.

The tires I am running are Toyo R888

Your project sounds cool, you should post a thread with some pictures of it.

Not yet Payton, my buddy who has done all the work has driven it and he said it feels much stronger than before. Were still trying to fix a few other items and am waiting for the new injectors and final tune before I get it back.

Very nice numbers Ryan... HKE builds some quality stuff.

[Bodies67]

Thanks Ryan, I talked to fiske today they said the hoops were 275$ apiece amd 20$ for the hrdware. They said I could do it myself or send them to them. I have a stock with 12 bolt camaro rearend. that is 54" from backing plate to babking plate I
m not going to cut it. I'll find another that one is original . I'll try to read back through the form and see if I can find the wiidh. I'm fired up at looking at your car!!! Man that stance is awsome!!! And that fat look on the back: makes it all!!!!

Ryan, good numbers on the motor but man that car of your's looks sweet!
