Well you won't have to worry about going to big that's for sure. If you have a bascially stock set up. 15 x 7's in the front or you will rub on the tie rod and 15 x 8's in the rear is about all your gonna get.

525hp......impressive, better get some Cal-Trac bars or something similar and you might want to think about some sub-frame connectors. What series gears?

With that much horse power you should seriously consider rear disc brakes.

Ok I gotta ask, what all was done to the 327 to get 525 h.p. out of it? A blower?
