If I leave with no boost it moves out a few feet and then breaks loose. The few times I left with boost it would burn right through to 3rd. The rims are 15X10 w/ a 6.5 back spacing (as you can see it tucks under nicely) and the tires are 26X10 ET streets. It should hook when I put the anti roll bar in and install new bushings front and back. In my Mustang it would hook into the high 1.40's after I put in the anti roll bar. The fronts are just standard 3.5's w. VW tires.

you think there is room for a 10.5 inch tire in there? and do you have a stock length rear? thanks for answering all my questions!

Yeah I do, I have 295-50-15 Futura Street tires on my other 15X10 Prostars that use for the rain and they measure 10.5 inches across the tread and if you lay the tire on its side and measure ground up they are a whopping 12.5 inches. They look mean from the back. (side note...I have rolled the fender lips and taken a small mallet to the inside) I figured everyone has done this but maybe not?

I don't mind the questions at all. Thats what the forum is for. Hell, I have learned quite a bit in the past few days from reading and asking questions and I have owned the Bird for over 13 years now....

Forgot, yep stock length. It measures like 53.5 from back plate to back plate which is the same as my Mustang. The axles measure the same length as an SN-95 axle and I have 9in drum brakes. I am looking for a disk brake set now to help spool the turbo on foot brake.
