Yeah, I've heard about doing that in the past, but it's not something I'm worried about. Right now I have to get my clutch straightened out for one thing, and then I don't know if I'd still want to do it. As stated, the 6500 RPM shift point is a good thing for the mill to live a long happy life. That's more important to me these days than getting another .3 tenths out of it. But, we'll see how I feel when it's all sorted out and I've finally been able to run the car for a while in full form.
On the tires, I have 26 x 10" ET Drags. I can't really go any larger because of wheel well clearance. I had to curve the lips and bend in the inner lining by the quad shocks as it is for those. Remember, the car is lowered 1.5" and I'm keeping it a real street car. I will do nothing where I must screw it up to make tires fit and I am not interested in raising the car back up to stock height. Actually, what I'm interested in doing any ways is changing to Drag Radials and tuning the clutch (that's the beauty of our type of clutch) to make it hook with that. Then I can run it in a drag radial class if I wanted to hit an event or two.
