Sweet you made your own man? A turbo is definately in the future for sure but I dont know when with bills and all
I want a turbo BAD but just dont if I can afford it. I can do the heads cam swap by myself but the turbo setup will cost me atleast 3K if not more since I will ahve to pay someone to weld **** up for me I cant weld well enoguh...........yet
Im buying a MIG welder soon and a stick machine to learn how to weld well I learn best by doing it myself I cant be "taught" how to do it I can be "guided" but thats where it ends.

if its not your daily driver and only gets driven when you want i would definately go with a street legal slick. stick 4 fat rims and stick 4 fat tires under there. i dont think it would be a problem for you to burn off the proxies on the street. what size gears do you have in it?

3.73s I currently have 31" tires that are 9" wide figured going to a 11" wide tire would help out alot
The more I think about it the more I think a drag radial is more in order since I already have 18s. Only problem is the I will have more leverage on the 28.5" tires than the 31.5s so I dont know if that will cancel out what I gain in tracitonm from the drag radials.

You don't need to so solid roller, you can spin your motor that high with the correct valvetrain. As for that cam, it is fairly close to mine execpt mine is not a solid roller.
