I was hoping to use a 16 cuz I don't believe I can find a big enough
side wall for a 15???? The overall dia is 28" or so.... I would really
like to hang in the 28" maybe 29" range.... Any thoughts here???? I am
assuming if the top end at the 1/8 and 1000 marker is due to this 3.92
gear ratio. I don't want to have to force the machine into a certain
gear while hauling ass.... I am looking for consistency in 'er. Doing
the math someone sent last time. I have determined a large side wall on
a 16" rim would be a good testing point for me.... It sounds like a 15"
will push me closer to the 4.10s, and I think this may hurt my top end
at the 1/8 even more???? I am new to the whole ratio for my truck speed
how do I go really fast better et thing..... Logic would dictate 3.92
and high for this truck is a shot in the foot???? It would seem a 3.73
would be closer to optimal until I can find the hidden ponies under the
hood???? Please more input on running radials at the track.... What
setups are helping everyone to eat a few 4duhs..... I want to crush my
buddies cobra....

        Gonna use R/T wheels for the track , or 15" ?

        I would use the 15" so you can get a bigger sidewall and more
grab , less
        spin .
