Buying Drag Radials soon- 26 or 28 inch tall tires?

[frankwjr]

gonna have to buck the trend here...stick with 28...first taller tire less rolling resistance=good for fronts...second you WILL be doin something to your rear...soon.

so why not bite the bullet and get gears and what ever else the rear might need(like axle seals)....I am also addin the LPW cover(awesome deal from dynoSteve at RDP!) as an added insur policy...shorter tire just a costly band-aid...

I don't like pullin any fuses when it's really not even necessary...and since I still have stock fronts(until I get sum skinny's) I can just slap on my DR's and drive to the track...10 min away wahoooo!...

and have you done anything to the rear suspension to control hop? if you wanna keep your axles, now is the time...good luck OP...peace

I have toe-rods and trailing arms from BMR for wheel hop. I'm taking all opinions at this point so thanks. Also when you are ready for some skinnies I have racestar front runners I'm selling right now If you are interested.

[frankwjr]

saw that but my funds are spoken for currently...if that were to change anytime soon I woulda been all over that sh!t...l8tr

[BandRcAMARO]

Ok but its winter here too...might not go to the track before april mai...I will order before and have pic though

Been running 26" tires for a couple yrs now at the track. I also run 27.5 in the front, all you have to do is pull fuse 40 and 43 in the fuse box under the hood to fix any issues with stabilitrac or unhappy computers. If you have a M6 car you cant get enough gear in the car, trust me there..... Everytime I had lowered the ratio I went faster and faster... I shift 4th gear way before the 1/8 mile marker and finish the 1/4 at 7200. I wish I had more still......

[WHAMMO]

he speaks...lulz...now how about that rear setup? l8tr

btw - 4.88..just gonna leave that sittin there..

[BandRcAMARO]

4th before the 1/8th? What gears get you doing that lol

[frankwjr]

lol...good luck pullin more info from him(jk-I just can't help pickin on him-tight lipped but a nice guy nun the less)) 4.33 and he wanted 4.56's.

The difference is do you want to DD the car...or just race it? I want to drive this car EVERY day I can, so for me the 3.91's are perfect...if I was racin I would bought the 9in rear a member is sellin, put in a carlyle 15 conversion and called it a day.

peace and every body have a safe weekend!

[BandRcAMARO]

I daily drive mine during the nicer months also, 3.91's are coming soon. I just cant find a shop that isnt askng over 500 to swap the gears. I even told them I would bring the pumpkin to them...

[frankwjr]

to bad your not closer, I did my own in the garage...lulz...
