What power adder do you have? Did you choose a taller 28.7 tire for better traction? Has your T56 ever locked you out of second gear? I believed this has happened to me only when my T56 Mag wasn't hot enough.

I have a Roush TVS on E85 @ 10lbs. (720rwhp/590rwtq) For traction purposes, I needed the widest drag radial I could get; NITTO NT05R 315/35/20 which happens to be 28.7 in diameter. My T56 shifts very nice so far in all gears...hot/coldWhat power adder do you have? Did you choose a taller 28.7 tire for better traction? Has your T56 ever locked you out of second gear?

I shift around 7,000 . I'm happy with the new 3.73s in my 2.97 T56. I'm just curious about how tire height effects traction and quickness with a street car. I have a 275/ 60/15 ET Street R tire that is 28.2 and was thinking about possible going wider or taller since traction has become a bit of an issue. How does such a short 26'' tire effect traction on the street? How does shifting higher in the rmps allow you to get away with a short tire? Get away with it in terms of what?What RPM will you be turning the car to.
I have a 890rwhp car with the same gear setup in the trans. The 2.97.. I run 3.73's with a 26" tire.. BUT the big question is going to be RPM you turn on the car per gear. For me 8000. So I can get a way with the 26" tire. Answer that I'll be able to give you a better idea of what gear to run.. With the 28.7" tire though, I'm already leaning towards a 4.10 gear..
