Thats the part that makes me sad about those wheels. I love the way they look but the widest Centerline makes in this wheel is 8.5 inches wide. That forced me to go with the 275/40/20 drag radials.

Ha ha thanks man. If there was more money in having a performance shop around here thats what I would love to do. It's always been a passion of mine but the only way I live it is through my vehicles.

Yea their 8.5's, I think the offset helps make them look wide enough. I really have to say centerline did a dam good job recommending the right offset on the wheel. We will just have to see how bad the 275's are going to spin with the turbo installed. Really wish I had enough wheel to fit a 315.

May 12, 2009: I think this was the happiest I've ever been to see two cardboard boxes ;-)

Quick pic of the goods:

Install begins when I save up a little more cash for the gauges, fuel pump, etc...

July 10, 2009: Livernois Kit finally installed along with gauges, fuel pump, and BOV! It was just as sweet of a ride as I had imagined! The 42 lb injectors that came with the kit arent near enough so I have some 60 lbs on order. Can only do about half throttle pulls for now but even so this sucker pulls!

Camera battery died so I snapped a few with my phone:


Louisiana heat is a bitch so we wrapped everything even near the turbo until I order my turbo blanket.



September 22, 2009: Got a turbo blanket to help with the underhood heat. Hoping it doesnt have a negative impact on my IAT's but next time I go for a tune I'll just have to see.


October 27, 2009: I finally got the money together to order my 4L80E and HD2 shift kit. I ended up finding a new GM factory replacement tranny for a really good deal. Hopefully it will arrive in the next few days so I can finally see what this babys got.
