Well, I haven't finished the car yet. I'm still in the process of building the engine. But on the list I have full-race turbo kit that I will purchase when I'm ready. So, my estimate would be around 600 whp, more or less. I'm trying to determine all the parts I would need for drag racing.

A car with a much smaller engine will win just about every race. On a front wheel drive car you are into dyno-queen territory with that much WHP, you just cant create traction.

most ppl run 24.5x8x15s with a 15x6.5-7in wheel, +35, +38 is good

will a 10 inch wide tire with +25 offset wheel fit? or will that rub the fender? Or is the 8 inch tire big enough to provide traction?

all depends on your drop of course
