COME CORRECT,

I am running a 3.27 gear with a 2.92 first gear in my C4. I was turning right at 6000 rpm with the 26" tall tires and about 5600 with the 28". Of course I haven't made a good pass yet so I don't know for sure what I'll be turning with the 28" tire.

I could certainly get traction with enough sand bags in the back but then weight also slow me down. Ideally, traction without addiing weight would be ideal. May not be attainable but I would like to try.

I was also running 13 psi in these 28" MT. Maybe less air would do the trick.

I am running naturally aspirated.
