[QUOTE="CB99SVT, post: 242352, member: 2740"] I was using 225/50/16 but I don't think Nitto makes that size anylonger. I will probably use a shorter tire in the future to lower the gearing a little to help it get moving. I should also tell you that even with drag radials my average 60' times were probably around 2.15. If you use drag radials you will find that it still is hard to launch, too little RPM=bog too much RPM=wheelspin, in other words it is still a very fine line to getting it right. I have several slips where I ran in the 14.50's & 14.60s with 60' times in the 2.15 to 2.25 range but I hit all the gears and didn't hit the fuel cutoff. [/QUOTE]
