TurboRust Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 ok the car traps 119 normally on sticky 26" tires and i go through the traps at 6500. If i go to 28" tall and go through the traps at 6000 is that going to help/hurt my 1/4 times..through the gears.. i.e. not talking sidewall height and benefit of hooking up better. and heres a dyno sheet to go with the question http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e91/Turborust/dyno.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I'd like to see it go through at 6,700-7,000, but your motor wouldnt like that for long. Dropping in RPM is going to hurt you. You want to cross the traps ~500rpm PAST peak power. If you can't make a 26" tire hook keep trying, you should be able to get low 1.5's out of a BFG 275/50/15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 everytime i put a taller tire on a car it seems to pickup! from the 60' all the way down! gearing is the big thing tho! what gear you got in there now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 RL- i was pulling very consistent 1.62 on a 26x11.50x16 et street, and while still on the stock clutch i suspect i'm giving up a little off the line because of it. I'm going to have to put a good clutch in the car anyway, so this is more of a theory post, than what I should go out and buy tomorrow.
