I know I'm not taking too much offense, been on the internet long enough to know that there will always be criticism, and if you guys knew me in person you would know I'm not some ricer p.o.s. This is my first true project car and I'm learning a lot. But I believe if we all tried to stay on the straight and narrow on these forums and not step on any feet all of our cars would be boring as ****!
Truth is i'm building the car for me, and I couldn't be happier with where its headed. I'm not happy with where its. I want to get some 6ULs and new rs3s, get the new engine and rotrex in and then I'll be at a good place.

Thank you for the support. Thats what I was thinking
Except paint is added weight and doesnt help performance....... so I dont know if I'm going to paint it, im kidding..
I by no means think its right quite yet. I'm trying to figure out some track wheels but I can only afford what I can sell the BBS for. 6ULs are pretty low offset for flares, the 10s might fit but 245 is a lot of tire. any ideas?

i'm mildly interested because in some distant future I will also probably have flares and will still run 8" wheels on street.

Upon some pondering, once I sell the BBS RMs I'm going to look in to getting some x10 6ULs. There's no reason not to. You only gain .3 lbs over the 9's. 225's dont look too stretched, and I would only do this because Toyo Proxes 245s on the street will just wear away too fast.
I need to talk to emilio to see if I can test fit some x10s once I get my car back. go big or go home.

I use those exact same slugs in my motor:
I run 17 PSI and this is my timing map:
The car makes gobs of torque and power isn't detonation limited anywhere. Granted this isn't a pump gas motor but I DO like the idea of high compression and high boost.
