I am hoping a local store will have one in stock so i can test fit them...
I was at the drag strip last year and a buddy with the 16 INCH MUSTANG wheels let me test fit them with my BBK stoptech and they were like 3 or 4mm to small for my brakes, I mean just a little bit bigger and they would've fit, so 17" should fit.

Sharif? Has anyone ever looked into getting the turbine side of these 18Gs cliped slightly...? I know this will effect spool time, but the trade off would be less back pressure at the top end.

Just thought of that last night... The DSM crowd runs their stuff like this all of the time...

Joe,

Not sure if you had a chance to check out your wheels and if they would fit or not.. I measured my mustang wheel and I had 2 inches from the BACKSIDE of the wheel, where it mounts, to the BACKSIDE of the spokes... With the wheels on the car, I could stick my finger between the brembos and the backside of the spokes so I would think about 1-3/4" would be cutting it pretty damn close..

Hey Sharif don't mean to go off topic but I want to bring the car down there this winter for a build. I have the JWT TT if I upgrade the turbos and run meth could I reach similar numbers????

Bro dont bother with race gas! Its a pain in the *** not worth it IMO. Stay pump gas. Having to drian your tank to fill up with race gas is no good!

$50-$60 bucks for 5 gallons of C16 ***** that!

Its just a safety measure, just incase something goes wrong with the methanol, I still have the C18. Plus that map will not be used much at all.

You dont have to use c16. My race gas tune is with 110 leaded. I can buy a 55 gallon drum for 265.

My mom could win bracket racing in an auto--->bracket = consistent, not neccessarily fast. You could have won that for being consistently $hitty

Joe-I hope your swapping tranny's!!!!!!
