450 hp with those parts is going to be easy. Is Wegner planning to port the heads any more?

Lug nuts; I like both. I'd have to wait and see what color the car is to know if the black lugs would look correct. However, the style of having a long lug that's sticking out of the rim a little is good. Keep the studs out there as well. That's how I have the studs on my TA and to me, it looks good. More classic and race oriented.

nope leaving everything out of the box stock. No extra money spent this project,

I agree the black lugs look the best.

Very nice. Love the wheels.

I'm thinking if my current project doesn't kill me, my next one might be a 2nd gen.

I have the same black lug nuts. I started to run them but did not have the longer studs. I felt uncomfortable running aluminum lugs with only half the thread engagement. I'll be getting long studs soon enough. What length are yours?

The studs I ordered were ARP-100-7704 (( 3.470 in )).


ps - the aluminun nuts have me worried also.
