4.30s, 4.56s too much for the street?

I do with my 4.30's and have no problems. Some people just need to learn how to drive their cars better. Can I tear up the tires if I want sure but that would be a waste. I've learned how to drive my car so that I can leave from a stoplight and barely chirp the tires.

A 4.56 is too tall for our cars, we don't have the RPM to make them usuable. In the quarter mile you would end up having to shift into 5th. With 4.30's and a 26" tall slick it is ideal for drag racing and streetability is not an issue if you can adapt to the gearing. Some can't and complain about tires. If you plan on racing at the track with any tire that is smaller than a 26" then you may want to be concervative and stay with a 4.10 that will give you more room to grow. If you are going with a power adder then stick with the 3.73's but don't expect much of an improvement at the track in NA form.
