Alright so I can obviously run the 235/60/15 (equal to a 26x8.5) Mt radial on the 15x10x5.5. But what about a 255/60/15 Mt radial? They are a little shorter and not quite as wide as the 275. This would also give me a little lower final gear ratio too.

From what Ive heard the problem is with the 1-2 band that holds the drum. But the shift servo also has alot to do with the problems, b/c people put a billet servo in there for the 1-2 shift. This makes it too firm and applies to much pressure on the rod that connects to the band and it break the the...

275/50/15 on 1971 Nova

Ok guys I have a 1971 Nova with a stock width 8.5 10 bolt. I was wondering if I could fit a 275/50/15 mt street radial under it. I currently have the shocks moved to the inside of the springs and the outer lips are rolled. I would be using a 15x10 w/ 5.5 backspace. Is this possible?

In neutral the pressure is fine though. Thats whats making me think either pickup is messed up or maybe the baffling isnt doing its job.

Limits of the stock oil pan.

My car has recently developed oil pressure problems under heavy accerlation or launching. Im lead to believe that this may be because Im still using the stock oil pan. When I bring the revs up in neutral the pressure is fine. I havent had any problems until this week. The engine normaly runs around ...

I think I have decided against the fast burns, mainly because I dont want to pay 1200.00 for a set of heads and then have to machince the heads and change the springs to run the cam that Im already running. I have read that the springs are only good to .520 lift
