New update!
#13
Thanks for all the inputs guys. The wheel search is ongoing, I will find some eventually. But I just finalized my deal through Chandler @ Brenspeed. Some minor changes, I am going with the BBK LT's with a custom made O/R H-pipe. The ultralight springs, bmr lca's, welded relo brackets, and adj. panhard bar are getting put on. Also they are going to put her on the dyno and do a little tuning with the new LT's. Anyone have any guess's for the new numbers?? Currently at 477rwhp/432rwtq. This should all be done by the end of next week. I will keep you guys posted.

I predict the psi will drop a lb or 2 and you will get about 15 more RWHP at the most IMO......these are just guesses.
Your 1/4 mile times are awesome and after all the suspension mods and the LT's etc you could realistically be in the high 10's in the 1/4 mile with an awesome driver mod (seems you have one already)
I love the rims you have now but I understand you wanting wider rim in the rear of the car......have you considered a set of slicks? overall it would be cheaper and just use them at the track.....
get your 60' time in the 1.5 or 1.4 range and you are in the 10's
congrats on the mods and thanks for protecting and serving our country!

I ran a set of MT's last year at the track, I will do so again this year. I just need a little more traction for the street. I don't street race really anymore but for when I like to do a little spirited driving I need something to grab. It really doesn't hold at all with 235's out back. I love my current wheels as well, but they just cant provide for the tire size I need. I cant wait to get back and try for 10's in the spring! Really need to work on my 60ft though. After missing this entire year I just cant wait to get back and cruise with some of you guys and hit the track up every couple weeks. Thanks!

that 60' is not bad and the overall time is awesome for said HP....thanks for the clarification but I also suspect that your 60' time will improve after the suspension mods anyway without any other changes........we will be here when you return!.....be safe

I will be in Virginia Beach when I return, then I will be up by Ft. Wayne Indiana late December to early January to visit family and pick up my car from my Dad. I am living in Virginia Beach until I finish my tour, then moving back to Indiana. I have met quite a few guys down in Virginia Beach at the hangouts and shows that have some awesome rides. Just cant wait to get back.

Well I talked to Chandler @ Brenspeed today.. They haven't gotten the car on the dyno just yet, he is saying today or tomorrow. They did make the recommendation that I have them add the pan hard support brace. So I gave them a go ahead on that, I couldn't say no to the deal they offered. So HOPEFULLY I will have some numbers soon.

UPDATE!! New #'s are 492rwhp and 445 ft. lb. of torque on Brenspeed's dyno. The old #'s were 477/432 on a dyno dynamics dyno @ DTP racing in Chesapeke, VA. So I cant really say the exact gain from the LT's or O/R H... Brent said everything looks spot on, and he said the car was a high producer. So overall I am really happy with the results. Just wish I could be home to enjoy it... Oh and by the way, Brenspeed customer service was TOP NOTCH as always. I had to do EVERYTHING with them through email due to be deployed and they answered everything same day, and I added/changed what I wanted a few times and they were just awesome, as always. Brenspeed FTW!!
