i have 17x11 wheels looking for a good drag radial
tbss rwd 4l80e 4.10's D1X 750-850 rwhp
1. 390/40/17 M&H 29.5"
2. 325/45/17 M&H 28"
3.315/55/17 MT R's 31.6"
4. 315/50/17 MT r's 29.4"
5. 275/50/17 M&H 28"

 

I know many of the SS guys have run the M&H 390's on that rim. That is a giant tire. I went (1.7x - 60') 10.6x/129 in my SS on the M&H 325's with a Novi 2000 around 700whp. That was 1st trip out in it and only ran it twice that day as I had no cage.

Being a D1x I'd say you'll be able to get away with either the 275 or 325 just fine as the power comes in linear unless you have a crazy stall speed. Which leads to, whose converter and specs?

 

thanks thats good info
its a yank 3600 stall 3 disc if i remember. im a turbo guy so blowers are new to me and was thinking smaller tire might help it get out of the hole. its nice with the new 2008+ rule no bar or cage till 9.99

 

Pretty sure I was right around 34-3600 stall speed as well, so my opinion would be the 28" tall tire to get some wheel speed even with the 4.10.

28" height tire x 7000rpm x 4.10 (rear gear) x 1:1 (3rd gear trans) = 142mph so I'd think you're covered.

 

thanks i will start there and see how it goes
