In the process of looking for wider tire. Currently have 285/35/18's. Anybody know of a wider tire for the 18ings. $$ is secondary at this point.

I know, I already did that. Can find 295/35/18s but nothing bigger.

I did. Found some Nito in the 305 width and there are some F1 stuff for big big bucks. Thanks....

Michelin, Pirelli, and Goodyear( I think its Goodyear), make 335/30/18 tires

I thought you said money was no object! Go for the $600.00 rear tires they will last a couple of years.........

I am a cheap ass. Anyway I change out the tires every 10,000 miles anyway.

Hey, Fitz...

Saw the car again today. Its coming along nicely. That exhaust system is a nice addition.

I was over there today also. Yes it is coming along nicely. That 2 inch exhaust and 4 inch side pipe is going to look good. I thnk that is the right measurement. I have decided to keep the tires I got and put a spacer all around. Discussed quads and intakes with Gordon. What do you think about a blower? Can't wait. Gordon tells me by my birthday 2-14-47. I am trying to figure out how to drive it from the fly bridge?

2047? I don't think it will be done that soon.

Actually Bob, this are 2 1/8" primaries stepped to a 2 1/4" then into a 4" side pipes. If we do a blower we will have to loose that hood, or at least much of it. Hmmmm, a 10-71 blower. How does 1000hp sound to you?

Fitz...

A blower? Ok you will never pass a gas station with that installed. I told Gordon that that HP is no use. I'll race you to Flagstaff. He who arrives with the most gas in the tank, without filling up, wins.

2-14 sounds good. That way you will have it broken in before the Vegas run. Don't worry about luggage. Slither will carry what you need in his trailer.

Still trying to figure out how I can sit with the flybridge installed.
