You might want to put in a cam with that big of a tire. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Re: thoughts on this setup... Its definately not too much gear. I run 4.10's with 26's and thats more gear than 4.30's with 28's. I dont have a problem hooking a 26 inch full slick so I think its more efficient than trying to turn a 4.30 gear and much heavier tire. It would hook like crazy though with a 28. You would be about 250 rpms less than I would at 118 mph. So yes it will work but will cost you et over 4.10's and 26's IMO.
Edited for hooked on phonics.

Re: thoughts on this setup... My local track blows for track prep so I really like the idea of the 28's. And I might try shooting 50-75 shot since it's already on the car. I figure it would put me close to the same torque of a healthy h/c car. Hopefully the 28/4.30 combo will be a good compromise.
Thanks for the replies.
