You should be able to get by with those. I know quite a few people are running 5x14's and like them. You might be able to get away with 5x18's if you want to but you'd need to have a pretty loose definition of "streetable". PM jackblack99...I know he's running 5x18's and if he gives it any decent amount of pedal he completely blacks out the road

wow, looks like i have something to look forward to!!

i'd imagine you can adjust your afc to be street driven on those injectors.

i dont want to buy injectors for a long time so i am looking at a decent set of 5x18's

same here, i want a set of injectors that will be able to supply enough fuel in case for some reason i want even more power. i dont want to have to buy another set of injectors after paying a bunch for the first set

you will only need 5x.014's to reach 600hp, tonypipefitter is above 500hp on 5x.012's based on his 1/4 times with his 62/68/13 (i think thats the right exhaust housing number but not sure)

hopefully he will tune in
