Build them both the same and leave the rear suspension out, but design them so that when your customer orders one it will be a matter of a couple hours to install all the brackets for the wheel base they want............ JMO

108 will be easier to drive but tighter in the corners, 105 will be a looser chassis and could be a handful both require different springs shocks and other "special" changes

If you hit the "sweet spot" the 105" will be quicker around the bull rings...On big 3/8, 1/2 mile or bigger, the 108" wouldn't be as big a handi cap..imo
