so I can get the idea of how they will look. Soon to get matching backs, Greg Weld 15x8 with 5.5 back spacing with 275/60 MT drag radial. The Greg Welds are uni-lug.

Damn Madsupra those 60's look beefy, there is domestic guys running 5.20's in the 1/8th, and cutting low 1.30's with stock style suspensions around here, with those tires. Making me regret selling my Welds.

And sorry, Frontierguy I'm just now making back to this thread, the Prostars look great in the back. How does the car feel at a decent speed, both under throttle, and lifting with the regular street tires up front, and the radials out back?

I had looked at your post, my concern is will the 275/60/15 clear the suspension? my 275/40/17 barely fit under the springs and a 275/60/15 is taller. does the tire sit far enough out that this added hieght is not an issue? I am assuming the bilstein is the stock suspension, which then would be the same as my car.
Thanks.

Really wasnt hard at all.

on the very top of the bell housing stick out more (bubbled out) i just cut about 5" x 5" on the tunnel where the trans meets at the very top by the firewall, and droped the motor and trans in !

took me a couple hours to get it rite.

best way to go man, and if you do alot of cruising id recommend a 700r4 since its a 4 speed.

but th350 is better for stree/strip type.

How much power are you looking to run through that th350? I wanted to run a th350 in the car, but for the price it would take to build one that would hold the power we are looking to make reliably, i could have built 2 powerglides.

I agree though, the th350 is a good street/strip trans. It has the same 1:1 high gear as the PG does, so even some cruising in this car should be ok.

Yea my car is really street/strip not strictly drag so it should be fine.

power wise im lookin around mid 600's all boost . the motor is set up with a nitrous wet fogger kit (nozzle on each runner) so maybe upper 700's.

it will be a fun daily :)

LOL, daily driven 700whp, ya should be a fun drive to work. My car wont be a daily driver, but it will be a weekend warrior thats for sure. Im hoping for 1000whp, on full tilt, and 7-800whp for street duty.
