People say damn that some tire on that thing when i had the 295's on there. ha she gets better traction but i have only driven it once on the new tires, weather has been crappy, either cold or raining. I need to get it to the dyno anyway.
Ahhhhh soo close.... i could raise the car about 1/2 inch and it would be fine but ehhh i guess ill try the 315s, just sucks to loose almost an inch of tire.
I have the Mckinney pan but with external pickup. Its very nice quality except they didn't deck the flange after they welded it. I had like a 1/4 gap which probably would be fine with a lot of "the right stuff" but i had it milled down flat anyway. I would highly recommend it. if your tracking a lot i would look into an accusump and i would also put an alarm on your oil pressure gauge. Not a lot you can do without opening the motor up. also probably put an extra quart in at the track.
I am soon to go a touch bigger with mine too. Im currently a 17x12.5 with 295 on zg and will be stepping up with the wider bamf to a 315 on a 13.5 i don't think the 335 will work but i might try it.
Its not that big of a deal to put a nice pan and pickup on your car but there is so much Hype on the RB motors. Other than the sound thats about the only good thing about them. I think what your looking for a 2j would be better for you. that extra .4 litre is a lot. I went from a rb26 to a 30 and its a huge difference in torque. Granted i never get to drive it cause its always broke. RB= waste of money compared to the 2j. The way you use your car i would say go for that. Be careful with the thin head gasket depended on your pistons. Watch your quench zone clearance.
