Sg Motorsport headers, and yes rev-up equipt. Huge improvement over the strup headers shorties I had, although the 3.5" exhaust lost a bit of the gained midrange.

I haven't been to t-hill since the car was more stock. Trying to make an HOD next month to get a little time on the new stuff.

265 really!? awww man I really want more meat on my tires
I can't go anything else above 275?
275/35 wont balance it out if I do 255/40 in front and also I don't like 35 series. So you telling me without spacer will still give me the tires lining up to fender and not concave inside the fender wall? I'm going to that look where the tires line up to fender and my fenders already been rolled.

just looked, looks like they do make 275/40/18, you can fit 285/35/18 on a 9.5 if you want, SCOTTS300 has 285/35 HANKOOK RS3s on a 9.5 +15 RPF1

OOOoo...so if I do 285 the most I would go and won't run into issues right? also what is your opinion to run same meaty tires all around? might be good since some people are on a budget with tires

1st run....too deep into the slalom. Lifted the drivers side rear about 2 inches off the ground. My car, me and a passanger on board. My ride height is somewhat low...

18x10.5 +15 with 285 Hoosier A6's. Untouched front fenders...



Finished 2nd out of 130 behind many time national champ and by far the fastest ASP car in the country at the event, though. Did beat out the current ASP champ, Courtney Cormier. Oh yeah, it pertains to this thread.....12" wide wheel on front with a 335 A6 and 13" wide wheel with 345's on back...
