    Correct, that's not the GSR intake... IIRC, it's a Skunk intake that's going to be swapped out for a legal one.

    Mike, can't wait to see the build start to come together!

    ST-43's are some serious good shizzle... definitely worth a try but they run some high temps. Make sure you've got good ducting.

    You can still get hubs from the dealer for the EF.

    14x7's are fine. I wouldn't worry about the corner weight and tire capacity... it's a non issue. You don't want 15x7's b/c fitting 225/45...

    Yeah, remote fill/dry break is completely legal. The big caveat is that the filler has to be "flush with the body". Take a look at the pics of my setup and it might help you with some ideas.

    OK, so steel drums are bad b/c of less heat dissipation. Nevermind that I'm sure you could have custom shoes whipped up that would work at the higher heat but I follow your train of thought.
