I understand your compound constrains on tire availability, but not the wheel size. They make plenty of 15’’ tires in multiple compounds, like I said, look around. Hell I’ve got 295 50 15s on an 8’’ wheel. You might want to look into some MT dot tires etc. ---

Karter, what part of “stop shitting up my thread” don’t you understand? If you’ve got a 295 on an 8" wheel you’re a fucking retard, Mingle didn’t just build this thing to talk about drag racing on the internet with. He actually wants to drive it, you know, around corners, while probably doing burnouts. MT Dot tires, _rolleyes_ Just shut the fuck up and stop posting. ---

I like the head light cover duct idea (and look); however, do you plan on doing hard driving at night…? How much more volume do you need? Is that little intake going to give you enough or is it just “more is better”…? I think the isolater box is the best idea. Maybe a duct coming between the headlight and the inner fender. Not sure how much room is there. I love this thing. I kind of want a NA with a NB front and a LS1… 🙂 > [@Karter](#): > > shouldnt you be inboxing travis more to get him to talk to you on the forum, so you can pretend someone would want you, and then blow it off to try to look “cool” or should I post all the messages you sent me freaking out and slitting your wrists about me posting your ass shots in the scene girl thread.
