Im using the 29"X18"X18" version of that tire (M/T street radial) on my 'modern' pro streeter project. And except for the 15 MPG (not important to me) I seem to be following the recipe mentioned. Goal is as close to 1g as is possible in handling, low 10 to hi 9 sec quarters. A/C, stereo and a comfortable and quiet (relatively) cabin. Remains to be seen how close we get.

This is modern Pro Street, huge engine, cage, wheels and all new technology. This car gets 5MPG and has over 800HP and is a blast to drive.

Im at a similar power level (~800 on the tire), but will be keeping the motor hidden under the hood. 542ci with a Procharger, EFI, etc. Manual trans (6 speed). Ride height might be a tad higher than that, but not much. Primarily because Im using taller tires.

Pics like that keep me motivated.

It is a very nice looking ride.

Default Where to buy that set up

That set up is what Im lookin for on my 68 Camaro. Will DSE mini tubs be enough or is this a back half job? I have all options open at this point, just trying to prepare.
Thanks

DSE mini-tubs will hold around 315-335 on most cars but if you're trying to harness 800 hp and hold the new Mickey Thompsons for a 20" wheel like Steve's pic, they are the very same dimensions as the old Pro Street tires or around 20x30 so a back half and big tall tubs will be necessary if you want it to sit down right.

Like Jason said, the DSE 'deep' tubs will fit a 12" wide wheel. Anything larger like the 20x15's will require a full back half like on this Chevelle Wagon.

We use the same size tire for most of our 'Modern' Pro-street projects.
They are Mickey Thompson Sportman S/R.
Size: 31X18.00R20LT
Approved Rim widths: 15 / 16
Tire Height: 31.1 in
Tread Width: 15.7 in
Sidewall Width: 17.3 in

Heres a close up of another we did:
