If you are 1/4 mile drag racing and NOT uprev tuned and have trap speeds 91mph+ with the stock height tires. DO NOT run a SHORT drag radial/street radial you will hit the SPEED LIMITER before you reach the finish line. I'm not tuned and running 255-50-16 (26" tall) M/T DR's and was hitting the speed limiter at 1200ft. I either have to get taller SR's/DR's or get tuned to remove/adjust up the speed limiter before i go back to the track. Before with the DR's i was trapping 90.5mph, with the 07 exhaust they went up to 91.5mph and the S/L kicked in so early i put my stock tires back on.

yeah I used some 29-30inch GY tires on the 17offorads for a couple of times before Uprev and did ok on the 2.94 axle.

So, am I going to hit the S/L with a 28-1/2" DR with BT? I left my S/L at 6K. How far up do you set the S/L?

Did not have DR on my mind then, but you guys have been a bad influence on me. :) Racing is over for Friday nights now. I have until March to get ready.

That is correct Randy, S/L 110 mph, Rev Limiter 6000 rpm.

I've told you guys this!!!!!

Before getting tuned on 28 inch DR's I was hitting the speed limiter right at the line with Big Tow. With 26 inch dr's...it would have been much worse!!!

Overall...your fine with 28's.

Ok, I'm awake now! Yep, had S/L confused with R/L. My S/L has been rased to 140, so it is never going to be an issue. lol.
:duh:
