Gear ratio and tire selection for heavy turbo car
I know it’s been beaten to death all over the internet, but I’m at a delema here and would like some input.
i have an 8.8 in my t/a, and it currently has 3.73 gears. I however already have a set of 3.08, 3.31, and 3.50 gears also. 3.73 will put me closest to my optimal trap rpm, but I’m worried will fight me for traction, primarily on the street. I have a 3700# ws6 with a trans brake 80e, and twin gt3582’s, with a 28x10.50 et street R currently but also own a set of same size pro bracket radials.
next question, im looking at getting slicks. Probably 28x10.50 Hoosiers. Stiff will
or not? Tube or no tube? Again, primarily street raced.
