It's a 28X11.5X16 MT ET street. These tires with Caltracs are the perfect combo to make this truck hook.


Yeah, the pic. was taken at the perfect time. The lights are still yellow.

I just saw that they did discontinue these tires...well that's gonna be a problem.
They also don't have any 28in tall 16s anymore. I really didn't want to have to do the 15in conversion, but I guess I don't have a choice now.

I was having a bunch of issues that day. 1 I'm running out of fuel pump anything after 5500rpm, so I changed my shift points to 5500 but still had to lift just a little at the top of 2nd and 3rd gear. I saw 13.0 AFR, the week before I tuned it on the dyno and had it set at 12.0 right at 5500. I know that's still a little lean but that's all the fuel I could get out of it.
2 it was 92 degrees that day and my IAT's were getting way too high for my liking. Saw 160+ after the run.
Need to fix both of those problems before the next race, and I think low 11s aren't out of the question.
