$3500 to spend, need your opinion

For instance, I am sure that if I get 4:10's Im going to end up going centrifugal instead of twin screw, etc.

And why would that be???? 4.10s and a twin screw are a beautiful thing...

I wish I went with 4.30's or even 4.56 with my paxton at teh power level I am at right now since I went to a taller tire.

Maybe be a beautiful thing with slicks, but with a 295/30/20.....dont think so, lol

Gonna be a daily driver not a track car so 4:10 is the lowest Im going. I may even do the tune first and see how much traction I do/do not have before changing gears.

I had 4.10s, 315s, and a centrifugal blower on the street. Fun stuff.

I'd throw the 20s in the trash and get 17s w/DRs for the street.

With the one set of tires I have, 4.30's would be about the same as a 4.10 with a stock height tire.

well thanks for the opinion but like I originally stated, not building a track car. Want something that looks good and is fun to drive. IMO 17"s look terrible on the S197. Besides, the black saleens look killer!

right, with stock power... suspension, etc will be needed once you start making more power.

No, that is not what I said. I ran a 12.521 1/4 mile at FFW in Ennis, TX with my Saleen SC, stock suspension, single piece aluminum driveshaft, and M&H Drag radials. I've ran several 7.86s 1/8ths at Lonestar dragway as well with this same combo.

My car is a daily driver too. No issues, and when I need to go, she goes!

Then you need to go twin screw FI (mildly) in my opinion. If you really want that kick in the pants when you press that right pedal!
