i wasnt really sure where to post this so i figured id keep it all in house with the sn95 guys.
im getting my car setup for an outing at the track and etc. im rocking 3.73s, 27" tall 255x55x17 nitto invos on the stock 17x8 wheels. hardened 28 splines and a fresh trak loc. (ive seen cars cut 1.6s on those exact tires) poly mounted upper and lower control arms. stock t45 gear set. im never going to run slicks and skinnies, DD trim forever. im shocked with the amount of traction i have now, it isnt the smoke show like a fwd car i expected, second gear hooks pretty well, third dead hooks. makes me worried im not making as much power as i hoped. granted im probly leaving +50whp on the table with the lack of timing and how fat the fuel is, but i dont think that will make or break the amount of traction i have now. i guess its a good problem to have.
does anyone have an experience with 27" tires, 3.73s, ~600+whp (centri tq curve), and 7k rpm redline? i was hoping for 1.7x 60ft (hey, cut me some slack) and some 10.xx slips. the car should trap north of 130 in its current trim after i get it on a dyno and finalize the tune. 27" tires make that big a difference vs 25.75"? i know there are quite a few guys with 600whp centri setups, and this is my first rodeo with this setup. any advice for optimizing the current setup would be appreciated.
