I got rid of the Enkei wheels for some C5 Vette wheels.

I think they look much better. they're 17s up front and 18s in the back. I have a set of 274/35/18 BFG G-Force Drag Radials on the back with Pirellis up front.

I just finished installing a CC503 cam, Crane 11746 NSA 1.6 Full Roller Rockers, Chromemolly pushrods w/ guideplates, Crane 10308-1 Valve Spring kit, New Lifters, New Opti and AC delete. Pacesetter LTs with ORY coming soon.
Here's a link to a ride-along vid after the cam swap. I wasn't pushing it too hard. 1st through 3rd.

I enjoy going out just to look for races in the early evenings. I especially like to hunt and Kill Mustangs. I've beaten several GTs and Cobras on the street. The Ricers usually slow down or turn when I try to race them.
