Tires question for track

[Dex]

3.55 gears and this is my dyno sheet for the track. Going to be leaving with boost. Since I will be leaving with a lot of torque should I get the 28 tall tire or go to a 26 because of the 3.55's? Im thinking 28x11.5x15 Slicks

With your gear, you could run the 26" no problem but I would say the 28" simply for the bigger footprint is going to be a better tire for you overall.

Keep an eye on your traps and you may want to up your gear if you can to a 3.73...

Thats what I was thinking but was worried about how tall the tire was. May have to put my stock springs back in for when I get to the track

With your HP/TQ you will do well with the 28". I have seen a few guys around here using 10.5 - 30's w/3.55's too. One of them is pushing 800+ and deep in the 8's.

+2 to the 28"... I think you'd blow the hides off a 26".

so 28x11.5x15 it is. Im gonna go with some Mickeys 3057

That's what I was running for a while. I liked them. But at the moment, I'm "experimenting" with 29x11-15 Goodyears.

 

[Dex]

you ran them yet?

721 rhwp....geez...like having two motors...

The Goodyears? Yes... Adam ran them at Fontana a couple weeks ago, and I ran them at Barona last weekend.

 

[Dex]

Any difference?

The Goodyears have a stiffer sidewall and are a little more stable on the top end. But, until I can solve the suspension issue and get the thing to launch hard again, I won't be able to say which one works best.
