I just put some 4.10's in and was thinking of running a 26in tire for motor runs then switch to 28's for the spray hoping the car will leave harder on motor and pick up some et and mph. Last resort will be have the stall loosend up a little. The car has all the good suspension stuff.


What you think ?

I thought itd be a wash too, but now I cross the traps at closer to 6400 where before I was 6000...I really should measure the actual height of both the 275 50s and the 275 60s to see what the real mounted height of the tires are on 15x10s...and for my combo which at the time of the runs used a Vig 3600 (now a 4000) the 26" tires were blown away on the launch...I needed the 28s to help it get out...The car would drive itself to 1.50-1.52 60's all day long with the 28s...
