I'd say if your runnning some tall *** tires you could see a mph gain very easy. But i woudn't think it would work that way if already having short tires....?

So your saying too much gear means you need more power right...

haha higher power range.......think of it like this my 408 setup ran 4.88s


just think of it this way......look at our trucks as fbodys!!!!! step to their gears and tires....they run 26" tires all day long and run the times they do. out trucks dont need the taller tires. unless you get into big HP with high gearing.

if its a proven setup on the cars then it will work for the trucks. a NA stock cubed 373 geard truck does not need a 28" tall tire. i ran faster when i went from a 28 to a 26" tire
