You'll love the Procharger, is it the P1SC???. Good idea to get swingouts. My girlfriend just slides over on her side. I only tried that once...lol. Welded with frame mounts is good too. Presumably you're thinking of sub 11.50 times,sohow aboutsome lightweight track wheels (Bogarts) and some smooth rubber. If you're losing therear seats, think about insulation loss. I have just bare metal back there and can hear the gasoline sloshing around in the tanks andlots of tranny noise and squeeks etc. Better to insulate, if your car will still get lots of street use.

I put a rear seat delete kit in. Just a nice piece of carpeted cardboard. Looking into lightweight wheels next year.
