We've always run the small on our cars. I called TCI and they say it is just for less rotational weight = faster revving

To turn 7300 rpm, at 100 mph, using a 30 inch tire, you're going to need to run a 6.35 rear gear.

A 5.57 will let you run 6400 rpm through the traps.

I don't know how accurate these numbers are but here's where they came from:

Look for an old caprice in the scrapyard. They have them to and should be easy to find.

Here is the pictures I have of the anti-roll bar in my car. It's a Bears Performance Products Pro Stock Kit. And yes, the end links really are that short.

Install an anti-roll bar, even if you don't need it because a car looks so much better with the front wheels level in the air, not mention the lost E.T. from twisting the rear suspension all up. It helped my car.

I got my new M/T front wheels and tires yesterday. They feel lighter than the draglites that were on the car, but I haven't weighed them to see what the actual difference is.

I was looking around at wheels last night, and these were the lightest I could find for the price, especially in a 15x14. (13.5 lbs compared to 20.2 for the Billet Specialties Street Lite)
