Post up the installed pics once it happens.

Definitely will, it'll be a while though, might be able to get them on for the classic in July ..

Most likely put some 300TW 295/30/18 on it for the time being at roughly 1/2 cost of 315/30/18 200tw

Dug into my Dmax truck, trying to find the problem, long short it finally gave off smoke and flames, fuse box under the hood is fully shot now
New seams to run about 275-325. Used seams half that

FB ads got me... Someone got bored and put a TVS2650 SC on a BBC ~13k kit roughly


Most likely reality if I go forced induction
If I go forced induction... pro charger D1SC

I like the easier cooling for the TVS but I guess that benefit also comes w/the penalty of more weight.
Have you crunched weight numbers for each choice?
