What would you guys say is the best set up for roll racing (tires/wheels/gear ratio)?? I currently have 600+rwhp with CS1 20' wheels and Nittos (315 NT05r on rear) with 3:31 gear. These tires/wheels seem heavy and cause me to lose gear. Should I use factory 18' wheels for roll racing and would I benefit from 3:73? Mainly will run from 30-35mph to 120-130mph.
Best tire/wheel/gear for roll racing (30-120mph)??

First of all thanks for the reply. I figured I might see some 3:55 or 3:73 but surprised to see 4:10 for rolling up to those speeds. I guess I underestimate the pull of these cars. I figured those gears would be a little more geared towards drag racing.
you're only going to 120-130 according to your post.
4.10s will keep you in the power band better than a taller gear. 4.10s + 28" = 130 mph in 4th @ 6400 rpm.
Starting in 2nd at ~ 3200 rpm
So stay in the peak part of the torque and hp range

I have 3.55s and run 18s with the 555r and it hooks good, I wouldn't change this part of my set up just need more power. I haven't seen a high hp car hook to good on 20s but if you can at 600 whp that's good. I like to run up to 130-140 so more gear wouldn't work for me. If I were you I would go 3.73s and leave a little headway up top, the bigger sidewall of an 18 will also hook better then a 20.
Change your sig, its a 93 coupe!
LOL Harleybulldog I saw that today.
I don't have a problem hooking with my 20's but they are heavy and I lose gear. Big difference over my factory 18's but they are 18x9 and really need at least a 10' wide wheel. I am more comfortable with the 3:31 gears than the tire/wheel combo I'm running. Kinda regret buying them but they do look good. The last thing these led sleds need is more weight. LOL
Its just alittle ole vette! HAHA

Uh huh. At least I might can hang a little with different wheel set up. You will walk away with these CS1's. I'm telling you they are heavy. All show and no go. I am looking forward to it though bud. I talked to Monty I know what you got. :-D
If I had more competition I would get some 15s, I think somebody had a set of 15x10 welds in the market and you could run the stockers up front. That would be the ultimate street set up. I do have a 18x10 wheel out back on mine.
Don't let Harleybulldog pick on you!!!!:lol1:
