Fenders are rolled....that is a must. 22 offset in the rear 10.5 wheel. I leave about two fingers of gap, and anothing ever rubs. Camber in the rear is -2.2 (intentionally), and front is a nasty -3 (intentionally). The car handles extremely well on public roads.

What brand/model is your 305/30? in RE050A they run fatter than other brands, so I went with 295/30, but in Michelin for example run more tigth... I cut the fenders and I'm sure that if I put 305/30 I will have to cut tnem a little more...

impressive numbers shariffal... one of these days, im gonna get my blitz power meter hooked up, i agree spinning in 1st thru 3rd is a bit agrevating...

but i want to set up my boost per gear as follows:

1st and second: 10psi
3rd: 13 psi
4th: 18psi
5th: 19 psi

and I've been pushing 18psi on a non-sleeved block for a little while now, doing excellent!

other option is to run low boost and run nitrous with the NX maximizer to increase the nitrous from gear to gear, but yeah nitrous costs money and isn't street legal

You will still spin with street tires on this settings. We almost need like 4-5psi in first, and maybe 6 psi in 2nd, and then go from there.
I am getting really good at peddling and drfiting, in the meantime.
