Right here, or Motive also makes them.

But i kinda wonder how you're going to put that much torque to the ground with a 9" tire and a car weighing almost 3500lbs.

Zip.

Jeff has a 3500lb car I think I'd install as much gear as I could to get it out of the hole. ET is in the first 300ft.

9" wide is all i can get for width in the 86 ss monte carlo,should i go to a taller tire?

I hear what you are saying but you come up with 400 RPM off using the same inputs and tire size I used. If you feel solid with your numbers ok, Good luck

I would but I think about a 29 to a 30in tall is all your going to be able to get without cutting your fender wells. For every inch you go up in height it will make about 5mph difference. So if you went to a 4:56 and was turning to many rpms you could always go up in tire height.

THANKS FOR ALL THE INPUT.I THINK IM GOING TO GET A 4.56 AND IF IM TURNING TO MANY RPM'S I WILL GET A TALLER TIRE.

IS THAT 5 MPH FASTER OR SLOWER?
