I'm running Weld Draglites. Been so long since I bought them I don't remember the backspacing, but I'd guess it's 4". Back 15x8s w/ 275/50R15 BFG drag radials. Front 15x3.5 w/ some VW tires.

I did have to use spacers, quarter to half an inch or so. Stock trailing arms on the back.

Tires stick out a bit, but I don't think it looks too bad...

..... you've got a bug-catcher, sitting ABOVE the windshield :
I seriously-doubt ANYBODY is going to notice your tires, hanging-out the side of the wheel-well!

Yah that thing is huge. It's the Injegtor from Jegs. I ordered it last May and it just came in yesterday. Guess it was worth the wait... I like it better than my Hilborn style scoop anyway .

Only taken a couple of pictures of it so far. Actually reeeeeaaallly up close it doesn't look too good at all. The polish job is awful, pits scratches etc... but... from a few feet away it's fine. Good enough for me. Not like the rest of my car is show quality .

Anyway here's a couple publicity shots of the scoop...

Thanks. No times with the blower. Just got it started with it less than a month ago... still trying to tune out the stutters/backfires .

Natuarlly aspirated though the car went 7.6 @ 94 mph with a 1.9 60 foot (1/8th mile). I hope to improve on that with some boost .
