I know I know.... but the car just sits so well on 19's. I know I should be running a 17" rim/tire combo, but again, it's hard to argue with the look.

What rearend gears are you running? I have 3.70's in a MWC 9" I'm also an Auto (4L65E). Curiour what type of MPG you are getting? I drove the car for a week straight on vacation and got anywhere from 11.5mpg to a best of 15.4mpg. Mostly interstate driving 75-80mph, the 11.5mpg was from playing with a few cars.

Details: AES 390cu in @ 9.25:1 CR D1SC with 7.65"/3.55" pulley, SS3600 Yank Stall, FLT Stage IV trans, MWC 9" 3.70's Standard tire size.

Thanks,
Ken

As has been mentioned, bumping up your compression ratio would really help out your fuel mileage. Bob
