car has been 8.33 on 28x10.5 we just re-freshened the motor and upgraded a few things and it looks like it will be quicker this time around. 23*sbc on nitrous. 
d.o.c said:yes. i stole the idea from ben mens mustang. allowed me to run big tubes on my headers and not worry about smashing them, plus i get full access to my transmission bolts, starter and plugs. i wouldnt do it any other way from now on.
