The 28"er's getting a 1.655 60'
The 26"er's getting a 1.8xx (don't have the slip in front of me) 60', and ET and MPH were better then the run before it with the 28" tires...

At least that is how most of the dealerships had them back in the day...
I've been torn for a while now as to whether I should keep my car or sell it for a black Camaro. I'm thinking of selling it, but I do like my car. A black LT1 Z with the Jongbloed hood. That would be ****

I am currently searching for the best tire and I have narrowed it down to the M/T 275/50 DR's or the 26X11.5 Hoosier QTP's, with the nod heading more to the QTP's because they are slightly stickier and are cheeper. But, I have never run a bias ply tire before, and I kinda like the current M/T 275/60 DR's so the shorter one should be work well too...
It would be so much easier for someone to just give me a set so I don't have to choose...

And there is no need for a 58mm TB at this level, I'm not making enough power to warant it, and it would be over kill for a bolt-on car. Also I know a few guys that have slowed down and loss power on the dyno after putting on a 58mm TB when the rest of the combo (stock H/C) couldn't support it...

Update...
I have only been back to the track once since last month, and was having traction issues so I asked the wife to take a vid from behind, then I had this 12.0 pass in 80+* temps and 1800+' DA...
She's looking good for the record...

please explain why? better mixed fuel actually burns better and cleaner and makes more power...colder fuel makes bigger molecules that dont mix as well and dont burn as clean...hotter fuel burns way cleaner and will make more pwoer

Remeber if you run a bias ply in the rear you gotta run it up front to, or your car will shake real bad.
I say try and throw on a 58mm TB, it may just be a marginal gain but when going for a record everything helps. Oh and maybe some roller rockers.
