Swain and Mario --
I just read the other post about gearing and Frank makes some very good points. This also brought to mind the recent Optima Challenge - it was so "obvious" which cars could actually put the power to the ground... they were MUCH quicker! The cars that just went up in smoke off the line... looked cool... sounded good... made lots of "furry" but went nowhere in a hurry. I've always referred to my tire size as my "slow blow fuse"... my car doesn't hook for poo... with the 3:73's... and too narrow tire... guys love it - and I'm not going to change 'em - and would need major mods to get more tire under it... With a motor that throws down torque like a 572 - mid 3's should get 'er done! And maybe a 5 speed instead of the 6?
