Hello From Maryland. The car is a 96 GT 248A ( so its real light ). I bought in 1997 when I got home from Korea. I am a US Army NCO.


Well its running. I had a session with John Lund last week. He set up a break in tune. I have a list of things to change to make it run a little better. I have not had it over 5600 rpm yet but it is already silly fast. With a super safe tune its already an 11 sec car on motor shifting at 5600. I should be able to rev to 7500 rpm when its all done and set for kill. I only have 3:73s for now but its crazy fast. I am not posting numbers yet so don't ask.

TEASER " the car went 12.0 @113 with the old 2V motor" This is a 322cid 11.7:1 compression 4v with everything you would expect in a full effort NA build. The new motor already makes alot more power than the old on and we have not even seen the top of the power band. Thanks to AHM Performance & Cross Racing Products.

Wheels are my street/strip set up. They are very light and different. Also I am out of money so Fikses are out of the question right now. I went out on a limb to be diff knowing I would get love it or hate it reviews. If you dont like feel free to your opinion just dont be rude.

there is a difference when you go with iffy wheels and they weigh the same if not more than stockers, but yours weigh less. I was skeptical about them till i saw the rear shot with the meats.

the jury is still out on the wheels, but i think they will grow on me, hell if they are lighter thats allready a plus. sick ride.

The are light as hell compared to any replica wheel and most high end forged wheels, at 16lbs for the front and 17.5 for the rear. If I had the money I would buy Fikses but at 1000 bucks a wheel I have less than that in all 4 of these. My open track wheels are a set of R58 Cobra R wheels with Advan A032R S compounds.
