    Yeah, they're American Racing Centerlines! 15x9 haven't measured the offset... Your truck really helped me make up my mind. I got them!

    It's pretty much the last post on the page, and the 2 pages after that are recent

    The gt25r from the stock MSP spools up stupid fast.
    That's possible. I still have a lot of research to do! I'm not in any rush. I'll have to convert all 4 wheels to disk, and find a stronger LSD before I do any of that, or I'll be breaking stuff.

    That's a pretty big improvement, sadly I sold my truck awhile back and have been dumping money into my stupid bimmer

    Why can't you man? It's easy :P

    Really though, I wish I could've done this to my truck.

    More into the motor build....

    :The cam is older then my truck, with a 1974 grind date, and a .475 lift that should really wake this motor up combined with the big ports and big valves...





    :L28 valves with dual Nismo valve springs and retainers







    In the words of the previous owner...

    "The entire interior surface of the crankcase was ground down to smooth it out and release the sand from the casting as well as remove casting flash.
    it was strange when I started grinding the block how much sand was hitting me in the face!!!

    Some people would think this will never be a problem, "its been there 20+ years and I've never had a problem!"
    HA! I broke this little "tree" off with my fingernail. This kind of thing can destroy any engine, and if you plan on hitting 7000+ RPMS, everything inside the engine vibrates like crazy.










    The future plan is to possibly either run twin throttle bodies with megasquirt or small turbo with a open chamber head.



    I'd love to run a small T4 (or even smaller honestly) turbo with megasquirt. Cut down an L28ET intake to remove the two center cylinders, and just run megasquirt. I wouldn't even mind running a small turbo into twin throttle bodies. Imagine the sound it'd make!
