Z06 wide booty conversion...
I'm not crazy how far my new 15" Welds stick out from the rear quarter panels. I've found some factory paint defect rear z06 panels. Could I just bolt them on in place of my factory quarters? Will the stock rockers and rear bumper line up with them?

Since you are running a 15 with rear tire are you running now at the track. Car look BA on the set up. Robert

Lol yes. I'd didn't realize people were thinking I tried to put a 15" wide wheels on the car. Pretty pointless to put anything wider than a z06 12" wide wheel even with the wider fenders. The wheels are 15x10". My 17x10 Welds tuck in perfectly, but the 15x10s stick out quite a bit.

Thanks! Still working out some bugs. For some reason my YSI with 8.25 lower and 2.85 upper is only making 11.5lbs of boost. Should be right at its efficiency range at 65,000rpm (although I know people spin them much higher). I was thinking it should be making at least 15lbs. I just ordered a stiffer spring for the Big Bubba Bypass to see if it may be bleeding some boost off. I've pressurized the charge side and the first thing to release any pressure was the bypass lifting up, so Josh@A&A told me about the stiffer spring.
