I am leaving at 3700, and yes side steppin it :wink: I'm runnin a 26 inch slick and a 26inch street tire. I ran a 28 inch tire with 4:11's in my nova and it wasnt enough gear. I figured with the 2 inch smaller tire it would be about right.??

yes it hooks hard, the first time out I twisted a aftermarket axle off.It seems to me there is not enough gear when I side step the clutch, it dogs down then picks it back up. Not sure of weight? its got to be heavy close to 4000lbs with me in it. ( i'm 300lbs)

The Chevelle I am speaking of is in the back ground of my sig pic, it is red. The tires on it were 275 60 15 M$ H Race masters I believe they are 28" tall. I thought I needed more geare in it. It had a 4.10 gear and wasn't bad at all around town...ran around 3300 at 55 mph.
The tires that barely fit on the Nova are 32 x 14 stiff sidewall goodyears on a 14" rim. They were way overinflated when I took that pic cause they didn't want to pop out on the bead....junk rims in my opinion.
