With my rear fenders being ~1-1/4" wider than stock, the +30 offset shouldn't be a problem at all. That should actually work pretty well for a drag set-up since it won't be too aggressive. I'm currently running 20x10.5" +37 (with 305/25R20's) in the rear along with 12mm spacers. And with just -1.5° to -1.7° camber I still have plenty of clearance. That's about a +19mm offset on a 10" wide wheel.
Yeah, the DW300 is a nice direct bolt-in pump. It's a good match for my 750cc injectors where I think the Walbro was a bit undersized.

I won't be making that much power now and even when I do, it the DW will be used to fill up a surge tank.
Will post an update after this post of how my car is doing and the plans for the upcoming show!

So this is my car at the last meet its been to in its current color. After the event I decided to peel the car and re-do it for Wekfest Houston on October 1st.
The new color will debut at Wekfest, teasers will be posted though. I also ordered some new wheels that just came out for the end of 2016. Those will also remain a secret until the show. Specs are 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +32, will end up putting the same tires I have on the Gram Lights onto these wheels and get stickier rubber for those.
If you are in Houston on October 1st, be sure to come by and check it out in person at the Jotech Motorsports/Mackin Industries booth along with a GTR and S2000.
At ECM held at Nebraska Furniture Mart.
Like peeling a bandaid.
Almost done with the driver side.
Back to the basic stock color.

New Color, compared to the old one it is a slight color change in the photos. Pictures don't capture what the overall change is though. I will post a side by side compared to the old one as well, just got to do a quick edit.
This took me a little bit longer than expected to dip, I was fighting a cold all week, had to work all day and prepped the car little by little at night. By the time the day came to spray, I wasn't up to it so my roommate stepped in and sprayed it for me.
Body Color
Pearls and Pigments Alien Pearl RL71 w/silver holographic microflakes
Roof Color
Silver Holographic Microflakes
In direct sunlight the microflakes really pop and bring out the holographic look, under the lights at the show not so much, it looks more like a silver flake in it.
Getting ready to go to Houston, I didn't have a way of getting it to the show the day before because I had already promised a friend I would be trailering his car down so I took mine a week early and left it at EVS Motors in Houston.
At Wekfest Houston in the Jotech Motorsports x Mackin Industries booth unveiling their new Volk TE37 Ultra in 19", as far as I am aware this is the one of the first sets out on a car right now.

Day after with the car in sunlight and on the way back to Dallas. I wasn't able to drive it back myself. My friend drove it back for me, I was able to see it driving down the road, he even got on it a few times and put a smile on my face from ear to ear.

The TE37's have always been my all time favorite wheel and when I saw they came out in the Ultra's in 20' I have been working with our distributor on when the 19's would come out and how soon I would be able to get a set for my car. These came off a container and straight to me. I am pretty content on my wheel setup, for now.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
