I tore out all the wires I didn't need. Think I only left the ac wires and the purple ignition wire.

15x8 and 28 radial. So far the 4.8 has been a best of 1.8 sixty and 11.4. Boosting about 4psi at the line. Hope to launch this thing at 8 or 10 psi now that I'll be able to hold the tire with the disc brakes. Also using the progressive nitrous control on the dominator to launch at 30-50hp and ended up at 100hp to the end of the track. Kaaaaboooommmmm!! hahahah

Yeah definitely. Dominator is in. I need to wire in the progressive nitrous controller and the boost controller and it will be ready to fire up. I bought a cool relay mount for the fuel pumps and efan. So far its coming out pretty good. Not mounted yet though.
