How is this tire change going to be gearing wise?

It will be a like a 2.87 gear. If I want it to be the same I would have to get some 3.31 gears. I'll worry about a gear change later if needed. I think I'll be ok with what I am running. I need the extra gearing to be the first in the 180's anyways..:icon_rr:

finish wiring, fuel system, finish my headers, get the turbo spinnin (oil lines) and then go destroy the rear axle so i can put a 8.8 in and 275 drag radials. Then it should pull the wheels...

Tested out some new EMS yesterday, so far pretty happy with it, I think it will be nice. Also doing a bit of body work over the last couple of days, getting it ready to go for spring.

Yeah it is going in my 87.

Last year I took out a bearing prematurely, was running a gt4088.

This next year I built an engine and switched from race fuel to E85.

Does Minnesota plates count as a mod? I think they added about +10hp.

Bought the dizzy and some other stuff but I might not get a chance to pull the motor till it thaws out a bit, I might just say fuck it and buy an EFI small block and AOD to put in when the big block dies. I need a cherry picker and an engine stand yet.

Should be an upgrade over the bald 245s that are on the car now.

17x9/10.5 with 275/40/17 and 315/35/17
