I have 28x10.5x15 inch slicks on my 84 GT. I am building a new motor this winter and I want more power but I don't want to spin the tires down the track either. By launching my car around 5000 rpm how much power can I get without smoking the tires all the time? I don't have the extra money to tub the car, but I don't want to overpower the tires.
