will it kill me

[jamstoyz]

im havin a hard time tryin to find drag radials in at least a 30" tall tire and a 18" rim or bigger for my truck. i can find 26" tall dr's from a corvette for cheap. i have a 4.30 gear so would this kill my performance runnin a shorter tire or do you think it will help? im just worried about my rpms at the end of the track.

I wouldn't think that it would kill you that bad... what kinda DR are u looking for?

[jamstoyz]

any brand will do but im looking at used ones. dont wanna drop 5 or 6 hundred bucks on a set up i will use once a year. the brand i found were mickey thompsons i think

thats a pretty short tire, I'm pretty sure you'll winding up that 6.0 pretty high if you go with that set up

thats what i was thinkin. its tough finding a used set up in a 30" drag radial. even slicks

At 3800RPM you will be doing about 95 mph with the 26" tire. What speed do you hit the traps at now?

In the 1/8th I was running about 73mph.

"edit" I saw your sig and it said 99 mph, that would be 3950 rpm. What is the redline on a 6.0?

30" tires will get you down to 3450 rpm
