Based on the tread pattern, these are probably Toyo Proxes R888R tires.

Trying to compare tuning efforts needed for a stock LT1 with a few bolt-ons vs a cammed & supercharged engine…?!? Massive difference in skill level and sheer amount of work needed. Not even remotely comparable. I’ve done both and can tell you that firsthand.

Really?!
I tried to give them business and they didn't seem too interested. This was 2004ish.


They liked beating on those cars up and down the road by Watkins though (were I used to work at the time).


They also had a WS6 (i think the owner of ls1tech's car actually) big single turbo. Wouldnt launch or hook for shit but trapped 150+ when it finally got going.


Being a Rockford guy, Nickey has some cool shit running around town if you are looking for it.

I second that Josh! (not including the $$$ difference for sure)

I'm in Janesville. I went to a Cars & Coffee car show in Rockford last May, WI Camaro vs. IL Camaro, when I still had my 4th gen. Nickey had one or two cars there.
