Wahl has the SO-2 285-30-18's in the rear, the things are huge!!! He should have no problem with traction, I would also suggest staying with the SO-2's they are sticky as hell, I will be putting my stock wheels back on with some fresh SO2's. And also get the hardtopguy clutch kit as Stratocaster sugested. I met Wahl at a DynoDay in RI, he was tunning his car, if I recall he had the 550cc injectors, but when they looked at the utilization they were only being used at 25% most of the time, so he said he will most likely be going with the 440cc injectors, but don't quote me on that.
Wow! This kit looks and sounds to be very promising. I definately need to think about getting this. Are there any plans on mkaing that red "box" a carbon fiber piece? I think that would look even better (it looks awesome already though!). Subscribing to the post....

Funny you should say that. I talked with Wael about just that. How much would you be willing to pay for that as an option? The thinking was that is added little to the performance of the kit and would bring the cost up too. That was the down sides to it. Now you just have to justify what it is worth in $$ to you? That is the question?

Hmmmmm.....so would ricks2k be the 'Mysterious well respected board vendor' that will be handling sales/marketing for the kit
Ok one real technical question that's been bother some of us for a while now.
I'm talking about the Air/Water aftercooler.
Problem is many of the Air/Water aftercoolers have been designed more for drag
race enviroments, i.e. short bursts of boost. They are able to effectively absorb alot of heat and keep the charged air temps down by absorbing heat with it's large water tank. However many are not able to radiate as much heat as they generate from the charged air. This is fine for drag racing and the street because the boost is only active for a short time and the heat is absorbed by the water and slowly radiated out the radiator for the aftercooler.
However this is not ok for a longer duration boost environment, say road racing and the track. In these cases if you cannot radiate as much heat as you generate, then over time your water temp in the Aftercooler will rise which can lead to high charged air temps. This is generally the bad rap that Air/Water aftercoolers get and why many like the Air/Air intercoolers.
So ultimately the question is. Is your Air/Water aftercooler able to disapate as much heat as the turbo will generate at max boost and can you show us any proof of that. One way I would think to know for sure would be to monitor the Aftercooler water temps during a track event. If the water temps remain relatively steady through the race then it would appear that you can radiate as much heat as you generate. However if water temps continue to rise throughout the race, then your aftercooler system may not be sufficient for track/race use.
