Just wondering what to expect when I get my Vette boosted. There will be an additional 80 lbs on the front of the car. I'm going with 1" wider wheels front and back with larger Michelin 4S tires. I'll have an extra pair of 19" wheels with Nitto NT05R's to play. So gentlemen how much different does your cars handle with the extra front end weight?
Thanks for your time and replies..

I'm going with an A&A V3-Ti setup with Meth injection..

15 Base A8 with Procharger ... didn’t notice anything on the handling ...

Only thing I noticed was for some reason, my back tires would just not "hook" anymore. Not sure why. Other than that, no difference that I can tell.

What kind/size wheel/tire did you end up running..?

20x11 with a Toyo TR1 in 305/25/20. Big mistake. Loved the look but would spin through into 3rd gear. I went with the 25 series to avoid rubbing. SOOO...fast forward...this winter I picked up a set of Cray's in 19x9.5 and 19x11 and have a set of Toyo R888R's 305/30/19's waiting. Hopefully will hook much better.

Rotten, Thanks for your reply. Believe it or not, I'm going to try some Toyo R888R's in stock Z51 size. Front: 245/35ZR19 and Rear 285/30ZR20. I'm lowered all the way down on stock bolts with MRC. Having an A&A V3-Ti with meth injection installed. I've got some XO Verona's that are 19x 91/2 and 20x11 that I could use with bigger tires like Toyo R888R's 265/30ZR19 and 315/30ZR20. What are your thoughts on this set up..??

You won't have a problem with the front. I'm running 275/30/19's without issue but too many people have had problems with rubbing with the 315/30/20 for me to want to chance it. I was just talking to a member here about the same issue a month or so ago. He ended up ordering the 888's in the stock 285/30/20 but the weather has been too crappy and cold for him to see how well they work.

Rotten, I'll sure like to know how those R888R's in 285/30ZR20 hook up with 650 rwhp

from a handling I would say no change.

But when i added the procharger it actually made the front end droop. Not noticeable from the eye but running a front splitter and have scrap issues that I didn't have prior to. All that added weight out in front of the engine + intercooler.
