Trying to decide on drag radials

The 28" tire will give you more traction than the 26" tire, contrary to what some have said, if you can fit it, the taller tire will provide more traction.
Also, at least with M&H the 9" wheel width is the median, there is actually quite a spread of wheel widths that tire should work on. For that info you'll have to call Tom

A friend of mine has the P325/50R15 MT Street Radial on his 95 Trans Am. To bad you couldn't run a 15 inch rim because this is an excellent tire. He went from a 26x11.50 ET Street to the P325/50R15 MT Street Radial and it hooked better. He went 10.17@133.6mph on the MT Street Radial and stock suspension with a LT1 350, ported LT1 heads and a CC306 cam and a NX 200HP Shot. He tried leaving on the Trans Brake at 4400rpm and turning the nitrous on when he let go the trans brake button but it smoked the tires and the car bearly moved. He's gonna try that again with a 28 tall slick and hopefully get a 9 second slip.

I would deffinately gear down when you put the 80e in. I can tell a big difference since I put the 80 in and I am going to be getting some lower gears to make up for it.
