Hey,
I need some slicks and wheels. I've been looking at the bogarts and weld's- any suggestions, or comments on either? And for slicks, im pretty sure im going to go with M/T's. Here's my setup:
Basic Drag kit- t3/t4 with tial wg
12:1 FMU, RC'270's
Msd wires, sci ignition, thermal 3inch, no cat, CM stage 4, CM flywheel, Quife lsd, cometic gasget, ARP studs, boosting 14 pounds when DUI of 104. For suspension i got tokico ilumina r's in the rear (adj.) with koni yellows in front and GC's all the way around. Its pretty gutted, no A/C, or cruise controll, soon to have no ABS, etc. No rear interior. I've been trying to get into these pro-am class races, but my car always seems to be in my garage on stands on race day. So what size slick and wheel you guys recomend for my setup?
..And I just replaced driveshafts, ball joints, a-arms, and controll arms
Thanks

i would stick with a 22x8x13" slick. 9" wide if they make one. your only using 270 injectors and your only gonna make so much power on them. if you uped the injectors to 440's and ran like 15 lbs of boost on 104 or higher octane, then i would go with the 24x8x13's.

AGREE....

with the basic drag kit on a stock motor, you are prety much limited to less than 300HP. You can work with the 22" tall slick but I would recommend a wide 22" slick such as a 22x9x13 to help get some traction.
the next step up is the 24.5x8.5x13 M&H or 24.5x9x13 M/T.
But for now, you can stick with the 22x9x13

For the rims, the Welds are real nice, but the BOGARTs have some inexpensive styles that you can choose from. The real budget style would be the LENSO 13x7.5
It all depends on how hardcore you want to be in the future and how deep your pocket is. Lensos are good enough for average racer... if money permits, get some Bogarts for the looks and light weight... Got more cash, get the Weld Import Magnum.

For pictures and an idea of how much they cost, check out our Drag Wheel section.
Our page also has the different pricing for M/T and M&H slicks.

I appreciate your help guys
I think i might go with the 24.5 tall and the 9" wide, because i am planning on building up my block very soon= more boost :D So, i might as well run the bigger ones now, so i wont have to fork over more $$ later. What does the last nimber in slick sizes represent? For ex. the 13" you suggested. Bogarts ive herd are really decent for the price. Can you post another link to your site will? For some reason its not working.
Thanks again guys
