I'm gonna have to agree and say get the cobra kit. Latemodelrestoration has the kit for $499, a lot cheaper than american muscle. I think you can even piece it together to save a bit of money by buying parts separate instead of the whole kit.

I dont think they look that good either...but the OP seemed pretty set on the wheels so i didnt want to try to bother to change his mind. lol Wheels that look somewhat similar to the Godspeed Omegas are the TSW Thruxton wheels. I used to have them and they weigh just about what stock wheels do...maybe a slight bit more but not much. Just saying.

Your questions/comments would be much easier to read if you used punctuation, but 300rwhp with a few bolt ons? Not even close; 260 is even a bit optimistic.

260 is way optimistic...my friend makes 255rwhp with an agressive tune with full boltons. You are nowhere near 300rwhp. It takes at least some healthy cams to get there...if not more. So forget that you have 300rwhp. And as for the cars you beat, its not that great. daytona chargers and SRT8 300's weight a f*** ton...so they have that much power to make up for the weight. But as for the rest of them, the SRT4 stock has about 240hp at the crank, so thats about 200ish to the wheels or so. Add an exhaust and an intake ant its up to like 240-250rwhp. I dont see a sig with your posts so do you have any rear gears in your car???

I dont know why youre waiting to take it to the dyno until after you get the gears installed cus they dont add any power...but whatever. But you are really horrible at guestimating power numbers.

I know it's a lot to take in at first, but it's ok, you will get through just like we all did. Hang in there and focus on the procharger.
