Right on, just don't go to UGA. Otherwise, you will have to always lose in jacksonville every year. HEARD.
You can always ask me questions about the engine drop. It isn't that bad. I have a good list of tools you could use as well. If you were closer, I would help you out.

But, my main point is that unless you are just building this crazy street car for whatever reason, invest in some seat time before you get the big turbo.
Anyway, sorry for the OT Ryan, back to your engine quest...

Im running 255's and I just bought these wheels! I think that maybe once I make some extra cash ill have 2 custom ones made for the back about an inch wider. I love the classy look of the cup wheels and I like the 17s for size.
I realize traction may be an issue but its not too hard to resist using the throttle like a binary switch - also keep in mind im not doing racing in this car anytime soon.

I have a 9 inch wheel... 7.5 and 9 I believe. Im sure a set of replica cups in 10's for the back wouldnt set me back too far, but after some of the choices ive made for this engine, I can't do it right now..

I hear you on that one. The 9s should be okay for when you're breaking the motor in but you'll def want some more meat out back. You're keeping your full interior & all window glass right?
