New bead locks. Sent my old wheels in, the screw holes for the slick screws were getting worn and stripped, they cut the old flanges off and tig welled new bead locks on.. Everything is cnc and tig even cutting the old wheels, much nicer than some of the others like Mac fab. Should save an the sidewalks too

Ray: If you're coming to Florida this spring for testing be sure to post dates/tracks, I'd like to catch up with you and your car. Maybe we can pry Keefer out of his shop as well.

In the drag racing industry, yes. But here on py nothing is proven and anything will be debated denied and argued forever.

Debate, discussion, counter view points and opinions...yes...even when spirited and what may seem or be quasi disrespectful is what helps invoke change, thought, experimentation and progress. Without it , here or in the real world, we would be doomed to stagnation and failure.

You of all people should understand the lesson of the lemmings.

Ray, the bead locks and pipes look awesome. I'm guessing when you get the heads in place you'll be running 1150 hp NA or so. Add the juice and better numbers are a tune away. Keep rockin man! Well done.
