Thanks for the kind words guys.

I haven't driven it yet to evaluate the suspension but since I am a retired suspension engineer, I fully expect to do some tweaking at some point and time. lol
I'll post my evaluation notes after I driven it and completed some testing. I will say that the 18's and 20's only look good if the stance is correct.

"Wheels and tires make the car and the stance makes the wheels and tires.

The stance is exactly what I was shooting for. This required a 2" lowering block in the rear.

I just completed the install of the F.A.S.T. EFI, this past weekend. It fired right up and appears to be running good to this point,

Gear Vendors overdrive will be here tomorrow which is next, after initial drive testing.

Cheers!

Mickm that stance looks killer. Would you mind sharing the specs on the wheels and tire? I'd love to run a similar setup

I have 62K+ on QA1 heims on my 4-Link on my other project. 

They are still going strong. 

I went with QA1 because they were local.
