Yes. I also have a launch kit from Pettit. When I last drove the car at 450 WHP, you could break the tires loose on all 4 gears. The 20B is pretty amazing.
"you could break the tires loose on all 4 gears." ...That just sounds Awsome!

It was a lot of fun. We did this on an entrance ramp to I75 in downtown Atlanta
As a teenager, I was always excited to get rubber in second gear with my GSLSE! I can't imagine the fun you've had.

David,
I've been following along for a while now with your project. I've done most of the work myself and nearing 3 years, next month actually. Anyway, my question is, I'm going with some 18x12 rears and was wondering your offset, (I realize your rims are 12.5" though)? I also have flared rear fenders.
I'm curious because the time to order wheels is rapidly approaching and there is a 3 month wait once they're ordered. I have some Michelin 335's waiting to be wrapped around some Work wheels, just need to figure out that offset.

That's a good question that I don't have the answer to unfortunately. The car is at Gotham so I can't run out and look but I've asked them to get back to me on this. They're swamped and this is surely low priority. I used to tell people to contact Jeff at Pettit - he's the guy that ordered the wheels for me - but he no longer works there. I'm planning on going to Gotham in the next few weeks and can have the answer then.

This project is taking forever!
I keep getting side tracked and I am having trouble with motivation!
I have the new Haltech Flying Lead and could easily hook it up, but I would rather purchase an old GSLSE and get running (after 8 years of sitting), or work on my original GSLSE, or my FD, or my A4, or pick my butt!
I seem to spend a lot of time staring at it when I go into the garage. Maybe if I just saw it run again, it would repeak my interest.
Anyone else go through this feeling with their 20b project?
