Tom, I'm running the same 275/70R16 tires with 3.73 gears. It's a nice combo for daily driving, towing, punishing Mustangs & Camaros, etc. But for the track, I'm considering 28" slicks. No gear change is in my future, too expensive to do both differentials. Who knows what I will really end up doing, kinda depends on how the new business does....

 

Jeff, u dropped .7 w/ only a BB tune & nothing else?

! = no, correct?

Ya, 200# is what I'm thinkin. Tonneau I was told is 110# (but I'll leave attaching hdwr on), so call that 100#, fullsize steel spare (35-50#), & my jack is also ~35-50#. Ballpark figure. BTW, how much does a tailgate weigh? ...cause I'm thinkin of takin it off right now to find out.

Roger, I'm not lookin for the fastest. Just faster than most. A Titan & Tundra killer, & enuff to shock most stock Stangs, Camaros (not the 5th Gen). Crush most imports unless modded. To me, I really want 13.1-13.4. I hope for what I wanna do 12.8 is more realistic.
If I spray, a low 12.

Got any links on what size / specs for a 28"? Cause when it comes to drag radials, I'd prefer a BFG cause I liked em when I had on my car. I might eventually run a slick. But that's down the road. After a few things. Which will be revealed when tranny comes. Jus waiting on Vince.

I really wanna address suspension, so that phase is done, & done completely.

 

I would go with a 26" tire if you are keeping the 3.42s. I have 3.42s and they love the 26" tire.

 

Tailgate is 60lbs, my spare was 65lbs it was a steel 17 though.

My run with the blackbear tune I didn't have my bed cover on, it was 60lbs.

And yes !=what I removed

 

Are u running a d/r or slick? Any link to your tire would be helpful.

Wow, I didn't know t-gate was 60#. So, I'll guess my spare steel 16" combo is 48-56#. Thought so on !
BTW, where's sig pic of your truck? You do still have it, right?

 

The biggest BFG DR for a 16" is 255/50R16, comes in at 26 inches. Gonna look a little silly IMO. Might get away with it at the track though. I also think you'll be better off with a 28" tire with your future plans.

M&H Racemaster in a 275/55R16 would be 28" DR. These are what I'm considering. http://www.mandhtires.com/store.php?...on=show_detail

 

I know the stock tires will be useless on strip eventually. Never hurts to look.

 

I am running a summitomo street tire. I wanted to try them in 26" before I committed to drag radials. They worked great all last year, but as they are getting a little wear they arent hooking up very good anymore, so I guess its time to spend some money or a drag radial, most likely the bfg.
Here is what they look like, they get soft quick with a little heat

i ran a 2.1 60 with a 3500ish stall, so not that high

 

I'm actually waiting on a call on something special now.

Gotta see how much it'll hurt the finances. I won't be doin it real soon, but I'm considering. Workin w/. 2 different co.'s to make sure parts play nice.
