Default New Weld RT S76 set up.
I want to say thanks to Brian at Hinson Motorsports, he worked with me to and went beyond what some venders do to get the perfect wheel setup for my car. I had to go to a 17" setup so I could get a tire with some side wall with hopes of hooking the car, and absolutely love the outcome.
Wheels are 17X8 with 225/50/17 fronts,
and 17X10 with 295/45/17 Mickeys on the rear
Car has a built blown motor, is the reason for the 17'

Hey Mark,
Looks like you got the set up figured out. Looks great. I tried to pm you but your box was full. Did 17s helped with traction?

Greg, We had rain here this weekend, so I did not get to the track. I tightened the converter up a bit and with this 17" tire, I believe it's going to hook. I am over due to see how the car is going to perform.
With the 18" radials, the car sucked.
2.0 60' foot
6.51 1/8th mile
@ 113 mph
I really would like to see a 6.0 1/8th mile pass, and if the car will stick, I think it's possible.
