If you don't set it back, cut fire wall, you'll be putting all the increase weight on the fron axle. Actually the center line of the engine eill be in front of the axle, significantly moving the balance further to the front. All tha sheet metal you're removing will help a little, however it won't rectify the problem. Since it only on the track, move the fire wall back minimally 2 inches. You'll have fewer problems with traction. You've got a torque monster to start with. You'll also need custom headers. Equal length, 2" od, 32" long, 3 1/2" collectors.
