I went from 17s to 15 inch tires (28s in the rear, drag radials) I ran three runs the other night and they were all about the same, the last two runs resulted in the exact same trap speed of 122.81. The weather was around 90ish with pretty high humidity. Car felt like it hooked good, but my LCAs were running downhill opposite of what they should be. I put adjustable LCAs and relocations brackets on and corrceted the angle do you think this will help me out? I think when the weather cools down I should get there.

Previous best with 17s was 11.15xx at 119MPH and it was nice and cool. with the 15s I only picked up a hundreth in ET but almost 4 MPH at the top, and I had several hundred RPM left in her.

Do you think I can make it into the 10's?


60' 1.532
330 4.566
1/8 7.098
MPH 96.53
1000 9.294
1/4 11.143
MPH 122.81

It should be no problem, either improve you sixty or wait for better air either way your there.

Congrats.

Our cars are set up pretty close except I am running 390 gear and I'm running 3600 stall in my FLT 460L (great trans). Are you running slicks or drag radials? I dynoed 450rwhp and 449tq. My car is a bit heavier though. Looking at your 60 I should I see that it is possible to run 1.4xs.

You def have the mph to do it, just work on the 60ft a tad and you should be there.

I know everyone seems to think that the smaller wheels are magic but I haven't seen it on the slip like everyone says.

I'm running drag radials but, I really think you would benefit from a larger stall 4000 +
