New CCW for my birthday
My wife, you gotta love her. She bought me a complete CCW drag package for my car. Actually, she offered me a choice between the CCW and the Specter Werks body kit. Well, I need to see the tens and I won't without some good tires, so John is making my wheels as we speak. What a great guy. He took a lot of time to make sure he could accomodate my big brakes up front. I can't wait. Lou is installing a new fuel system in my car and electric cutouts while I am having the heads worked over some more. VR designed a new setup for me and when they get finished tuning it again, I expect to see 530 RWHP. I just can't decide what size shot to put in the juice. Oh well, that is why they make lots of jet sizes. Good thing I have LGM's six point cage and full harness.
The weather is clearing and I can see a 140+MPH in my future.
Cheers
Randy :cheers: :D

Randy,
What exactly did John at CCW have to do to accomodate your brake package. I sent him an e-mail a week or so ago asking if this could be done and I havent heard back from him yet. What brake package do you have? Also, what size rims in the front and rear are you going with?

Randy,
You have an awesome lady. Not to stray off topic but are you running an iron or aluminum block?

I have LGM's six piston Wildwood package with a 13" rotor. John was speaking technospeak and I didn't follow him completely, but he assured me I would be fine as long as I added long studs.
I went with his 10 inch rears and skinnies up front. Don't know what size the fronts are, he told me what I needed and I went with that.\
He was incredibly professional about not wanting to commit without knowing for sure he could deliver on my schedule. I can't wait.
Cheers

John at CCW is about a 1/2 hour from me and I will soon be at his shop to see exactly what I want. I agree, he is very professional! I was just wondering if I could fit the same brake kit as you have but with 18X9.5 or 10's on the front as opposed to the skinnies.
Thanks for the response!

Matt,
You can run LG's package with stock Z06 wheels with no mods. Other wheels it depends on back spacing I think. I had to run a very small spacer on my forgelines, 18X11's in front.

You have a great woman there! My fiance would only buy me rims in her nightmare! :lol:
I would stick with the 150 shot. Trust me, with those CCW's it will launch like a rocket! I know this from experience! :yesnod:
