tier size in 1/8 and 1/4

#1 Post by jaspermaggie » Wed Apr 09, 2008 1:30 pm

I had a problem at the track 1/4. I just added nitrous and ran out of geer on the top. I had 4.11 and just put in 3.73. I am looking at a set of tiers and can only do one set. I have and had a 26.1 (235/60/15) and am looking at a 27.1 (255/60/15). The 27.1 is the biggest I can get for my car. I am going to do mostly 1/8 and street but like the 1/4 just further do drive. What to do? Do you think I fixed the problem buy putting in the 3.73 and will one inch do that much?
My car is not as fast as I think it is.

That gear alone change will drop you 700 RPM.
A 1 inch taller tire will drop your effective gear ratio down to 3.56, if you know what I mean.
Gotta plan, spend it before she can, and go as fast as you can.
