So What Tires are Currently Available?

My limiter is at 7950

And yes, 3.31s.

I'm gonna have to dump the 3.73's in my track-pack mustang or raise the limiter to the clouds

tell me about it. Stock gear stock tire size on a bone stock car i was bouncing off the limiter in 4th at our local drag strip. Seriously considering at least going down to a 3.55 gear

3.31s with the MT82 are still like having ~4.10s with a T56. Hard to break the pattern of thinking regarding gearing in these cars with 5th being 1:1 instead of fourth. Completely different from what we are used to. 3.73 in these cars from the factory were ridiculous. Imagine a '98 Cobra having 4.56s from the factory.

It's rare to break 120 with stockish coyote power in Texas or Oklahoma unless you're at TWS or COTA.

I was hitting 130 at VIR on the back straight in my 2007. Not sure what the Yote will do because I haven't taken it there yet. I should ask Mike Rousch...that dude is turning almost a flat 2-minute lap on VIR-Full.

Probably a good explanation as to why i ran a 12.72 @ 109MPH on a set of goodyear all seasons on my car completely bone stock. It makes justifying a gear change that much easier

I went back and looked at some data and its about 7250 at 150ish with 3.55's and a 275/35/18 toyo rr in the back stretch at VIR. That is making about 425 SAE and 3600 pounds. Most stockish Coyotes will go about 143 back there. The way drive you may be a touch faster then that since you will be braking really late!
