Are those the powder coated Street Lites?

They are racestar wheels 'dark stars'

Width and offset?

Yea, I think that's about as big as you can go and still be mild mannered on the street.

the +2 denotes that the cam has 2 degrees of advance built in, meaning its 112 lsa but is 110 degrees intake centerline.

Im not a genius on camshafts but almost all NA LS performance cams are between 2 and 4 degrees of advance off of the ICL. The farther away the ICL and the LSA are, the more overlap you get, and in the cases of LS cams, that couple of degrees moves the power band down even lower.

This cam will max out at about 6400 RPM, which is as high as I ever want to rev in the truck

Fronts are 17x4.5

Rears are 15x10

I bought them used so im not sure of the offset, but they are the 'f body specific' wheels.

Race star is based out of KC and makes drag wheels for lots of applications

I decided i want some new wheels on my Fbody but haven't bothered measuring the backspacing myself yet.

I talked to my boys over at American Racing (wheel pros now) and they're giving me some offsets that don't jive with what the guys over at LS1tech are posting.

Only real way to do it is to measure myself i suppose since there's a lot of conflicting info on the net.

Right now im eyeing the AR920's, which American Racing say won't fit.

But then again, they give some specific Backspacing's for the Mustangs, such as a 4.75", when i KNOW a 5" will fit.

If I did the math right, (I had to look up the formula) that's about 88 degrees of overlap so its going to thump hard for sure.

Thats fairly close to the size of the cam in my 434 but its on a 114 LS so its more fast and choppy with no lope to it.

Yea.. there are two ways they talk calculate overlap, the most common way comes out in a smaller amount of degrees, I have never really heard it expressed in that large of degrees except in passing that there is some other way to calculate it. Maybe Sauto can shed some more light on it.

I have been using this for years http://www.wallaceracing.com/overlap-calc.php

Its a really simple and easy to compare all the different cams.

The truck cam has the exact same amount of overlap is my T/A cam, and typically idle is even choppier on the smaller motor, so the sound is gonna be wicked. Its 12.5 degrees of overlap, where the 228r that was in it was 7.

have you checked out https://www.oewheelsllc.com/ and 1320 wheels?
[Reply]

So I went out and bought my dream truck I have been looking for

1977 K20 with the 4 speed and the 350. I will post pictures tomorrow

Audis are so underrated. Love the look of their cars.
[Reply]

Sweet cars, not so sweet ride. I drove one and an Altima. Altima drove better IMO. More comfortable. Audi had more punch.
[Reply]

Curious which Audi model you drove. This 2018 A7 is WAY more comfortable than a 2017 Maxima I drove. I haven't driven an Altima since 2007 though. The seat comfort probably depends on the trim level too.
[Reply]

better have big tires!
[Reply]

It will eventually but as of right now it’s only on 235/70s, so big truck little tires right now
