hey everyone just a simple question. i know most everyone from what ive read anyways runs 28" tires at the drag strip. im considering trying the hoosier QT dot 26/9.5/16 thinking of the shorter one becuase i have the stock 3.42 and should help 60' and i only run 1/8mi any input appreciated. thanks trevor

 

When I had 3.42s I ran 26" tires at the track and they worked out great.

 

thanks for the reply outlaw. thats what im thinking ill run till i get the 3.73 or the 4.10 in it. i see in sig it says you have a dual tune? sounds like what i was wanting kind of. can you elaborate on that a little but please? thanks.

 

I believe its just the low and high tables tuned, when you run the higher octane it will run a little better. I run 89 octane most of the time, and when I plan on going to the track I run the better stuff. I do get better fuel mileage running the higher octane though.

 

The 26" tire will work fine. A good deal of people run the shorter tire for plenty of reasons.

It will help your gearing like you said. I beleive the biggest reason most guys don't run the 26" tire is because it looks goofy. I borrowed a set once. The worked well but they did look goofy!

 

ok that sounds like what i need im still running stock tune with my trick flow cam. im gonna wait till i put the stall in it to get it tuned.

 

heck i dont care if it looks goofy or not as long as they work. i just wont have them wheels that stick out of the wheel wells like 3 inches. thats goofy looking.

 

Ran mine on a set of 2000 silverado stock aluminum 16s. Fairly light wheel and tire combo.

 

thats what ill run them on i have a stock set of 03 16s ill use.

 

What's the cut off with gearing before you have to switch to a 28" tire?
