I am into road course so my traction is less of an issue because I don't expect the launch miracle traction. These tires are completely useless on a drag strip... lol

I was going to go with them on my stock rims, but they were $1600 installed. I plan on getting the 1LE rims in the future so I just went with BF SportComp 2s to hold me over. Pretty impressed with them so far.

I need to make an appt. to go pay Ryan a visit at GPI to get my manifold done and a re-tune. I want to document the gains from it so it may be of help to more people that have been on the fence about doing it. Plus I know Muddflap is like "when is this guy gonna sell me his stocker?" lol.

I'm half way sold on the BFG Rivals but they only have 285 then jump to 315. I want to go either 285/295 or 285/305. Really my choices are the PSS in 285/295 or the Supercar in 285/305. I'm really not too pleased with the Supercars for a DD...

Going for the first time Saturday. I'm afraid they are used up though. Only 7500 miles. They are too sensitive to temperature both ambient and tire temp. You have to baby them for about 5 miles to get them warm then you can get on it. They were pretty damn impressive once warmed up when they were new and I had less power.

I might try them out when I get the replica rims and just put snow tires on my old ones. The PSS are even more expensive in the 1LE size I believe.

Got most of my fuel line ran. Just need to run the return line, which ill do when I swap in the TH400. I absolutely hate the steel braided fuel line, such a pain. My dad ended up doing almost all of it, went there after work a couple days ago and in the 2 1/2 hours of working on it I got exactly 0 ends on.

We had a tough time coming up with a decent place for the Fuel pressure regulator, but we found a decent spot. Doesn't help we are cutting it REALLY close on the length of fuel line, I won't be surprised if I have to buy some more. Still have a ways to go overall, still need to put some split loom in some places and once its all together clean the shit out of this thing . Passenger side of the engine bay is extremely busy.

Nice! Good progress. My parts mountain is getting bigger instead of smaller.

Yea, I got all my fuel line stuff last week. Nothing like spending $300+ on fuel line, connections, ect.

Planning on rebuilding one of the TH400's I got this weekend. There will be plenty of pictures from that.

Once I finish the rebuild I will need to call up a converter shop and get one made up for this so I can atleast get the transmission in. And then ill get the driveshaft made up and save some money up for axles.

Supposedly the PSS last twice as long stick almost as well and they aren't as cold sensitive. They are a few hundred more than the GY's. Hopefully they are worth it.
