We run MT drag radials on the car at all times. With the expected 3.50 gear coming I talked him into knocking the tire down to a 275. (was 3.73 with 295's)
Actually fits better and allowed me to set the rear suspension back down and get a better handle on instant center. We found it was simply hitting the tires too hard now with this new engine so I moved instant center out, made a few other tweaks.
Made a couple of bonsai runs on the street and even on a dusty road without heat in the tires the car works pretty damn good. Hooks without too much trouble and isn't doing anything unpredictable. This car has always transferred weight very well and does a nice job of planting the rear tires. It's amazed me at how well it's working on the street with very few chassis changes given the big change in power. I'm really curious what the new 60 foot times will be.
