If you talk with Frank Parks he would tell you 45" out is not enough.Last time i talked with him he was building new car 52 out. I spent cpl nights reworking stuff but could only get 49 out. Im thinking the extra torque I should have will make up for differance in wheel speed. Carring battery infront of front axle centerline and fuel tank behind it, should help with weight. I have provisions for moving battery to middle or under driver if need to. Air bottle and nitrous bottle in front of middle of car plus at least one fire bottle whould help work weight balance out.
