What size are those rear wheels? 10"?

That's insane.

I'm legal for SCCA Solo Street Modified. Front wheels are 9x18 Complete Custom Wheels (CCW) with 245/35 Kumho V710s. Rears are 11x18 with 285/30 Kumho V710s. Next set will still have the 245s on front but will go to 315/30 or 335/30 on rear. Hoosier 285s fit the rear wheels just right, but the Kumho 285 is stretched. Plus I need more rear rubber to put down power.

Engine bay

Among the mods to the 3 liter are an Eaton MP-62 supercharger, with brackets, idler pulley, ports, and most of plumbing from Greg Gordon; PWR water-to-air intercooler; Halltech ECU and ignition;large injectors; S cams and S pistons; mild porting by Glynn Motorsports; balanced dynamically (engine built by Kevin Oliver); IAP headers coated by Jet-Hot.

Distributor still in place to drive the oil pump, but that's all it is doing.

Currently set at 8 psi boost, which is as high as I dare go. Running 112 octane racing fuel.

Engine meant to give lots of immediate torque at expense of ultimate rpm. Will spin the big autocross tires in second gear at low speeds that are requiring most of my competitors to downshift to 1st. Guessing current hp at flywheel to be about 330.

And no, the filter is not dirty. For some reason it came thru in pic as discolored.

There is a heat reflector between the air intake and the supercharger.
