Nah its not that bad. the cops dont even look twice. Its an 8 inch but because the glass is so tall its easy to see over.

Good Looking truck, great color.  What wheel and tire size are you running, looks like MT's on the back. What back spacing on the rear wheels?

the rears are 15x10 with 4 inch backspace with 325/50 MT drag radials. the fronts are 15x4 with 27.5/4.5 et fronts. It works really well on the street. It has caltracs and stock springs. Rev it up, dump the clutch, and it hooks and goes! ;D

Those look like the Centerline Telstar wheels...

Right on. So how is the driveability and throttle response with the blower and the carb? Any hesitations or surging?

That is a sweet truck, I'm jealous!! My SBCs don't look nothing like that!!

Thanks guys! The wheels are centerline telstars and the hood is a custom piece from glasstek. I had to call them and order it special. The drivability is great. It has an 850 4150 carb, a blower cam matched to the blower, and forged blower pistons. Everything else is stock GM. Stock rods, cast crank, and stock unported GM iron heads. There is no hesitation or sputteriness at all. It is very easy to drive on the street. It is very quiet until you jump on it. Then you can hear the whine of the supercharger!

Very cool. Any estimate on what it will run in the 1/4?
