What where you guys going threw at with the 28's?
We are about to put a 2300 on our shop car and was wanting to run the 305/45/18 Mickey Thompson tires.
I would think with the extra low end torque would make use of the 28's better.....

But a decent sized set of twins could and would do the trick, I am going to keep the shot on it for spooling due to being an M6. I've already ordered the Hendrix Engineering Axles & BMR Trailing arms, will have shocks on it before the shootout also.

Also I saw on Camaro 5 that the drive shaft shop is selling 1000 HP axles for about $200 more than your 1200 HP axles. Everyone needs to jump on the Hendrix Axles before the price goes up.

cool..hope to run into you guys
I think a 4.10 gear and 28" tire would rock, but with the 28" + tire we had to come out at high RPM, slip the clutch and then the car barely went through the traps in 4th gear.
it looks so funny with these little tire at stock height

Well the air wasn't great Friday night (high humidity). we were fighting traction all night. heel hop didn't seem to be as much of an issue with the shorter rear tires vs the 28" tall d.r.'s we ran before.
The mph shows decent improvement in the humid air, but the e.t. wasn't matching up with the mph no matter what we tried.
best two runs of the night were as follows:
me driving:
60' - 1.84
1/8 mph - 96.69
1/4 et - 11.72
1/4 mph - 122.59
Larry driving:
60' - 1.88
1/8 mph - 97.27
1/4 e.t. - 11.70
1/4 mph - 122.43
we got to the track after 2 hours of driving, paid, got through tech right away and only had a half hour cool down. that was the longest the car sat to cool the whole night. there were no super long cool downs, no icing the blower, or any of that non-sense. i even hot lapped the car a couple times as i was trying to just get a feel for the car as i had not even sat in the thing until that night. ha.

1st post shows pics of TVS2300 and CAI with upgrades noted
+ a bit further down the addition of headers
We have added a LM2 axle back, but can't say we really gained anything other then a nice sound.
going back to the track Sunday and putting the M&H 28" tire back on and planning to hook and book

The car is washed and the 28" tires are back on for tomorrow. The weather looks to be good
77 and partly cloudy, so it should bring us o.k air
I'm hoping the tires will allow me to come out much harder since the short 26" did not and drop the ET. I went 1.71 with them before with little practice when we were at 518 rwhp. The added power and torque now should improve on both ends of the track.
updates tomorrow night
