Hi all. New to the forum. Used to own and race an 11 second 88Gt back in the 90s. Well after 7 years I am back in the game as I just bought a 89 LX 5.0. Once a 5.0 lover ALWAYS a 5.0 lover ( this is my 5th 5.0 to be honest LOL )
My question is, on a 15x8 rear Weld Draglite, what is the backspacing everyone goes with? They offer it in 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5. Which is the proper backspacing to fill the fender well without sticking out past the lip but completely filling the well?
thanks all, cant wait to spend the next few years talking with y'all. My goal is a 10 second lx I plan on a 331 stroker with either a supercharger or nitrous. Not sure yet, I went the nitrous approach wiht the 88 and think I might try the SC but I still bleed nitrous. LOL we shall see.
