I have both 28x12.5 et steets and 26x11.5s that i can use but not sure which would be better. Its an auto car with 3.42s. New Setup is in sig.

I was using a timslip from my old set up to try and come up with something. These numbers are from an online calculator and I don't think it put convertor slip into the equation.
3rd gear is 1:1, trap speed was 119.
26" = 5259 rpm
28" = 4884 rpm

I am pretty much set on the 26s, but alittle nervous i might run out of gear with the new setup and 150 shot that is coming. Old set up made 325hp plus a 75 shot in second gear only.

Bump. Would the 28s work with a 408/4l80 on around a 200 shot with a 3:42 gear
