I wanna drag race----help

With a 4-speed and 4.30 gears, you should be able to run a 27"-28" tire without a problem. I run 4.10 gears with 28-9X15 MT ET Drags(which are actually 27.3" tall) and a 727 auto trans with LUPO 5000 stall. I've ran my old 340 1/8th mile and 1/4, it works great either way.

Darndart first of all, I just tripped upon a post from the beginning of July that you had won the Pro Street class at your local dragstrip-a belated congrats! My question to you or anyone else with the 9" slicks is what width of wheel and backspacing would I need to fit my car. If you run on the street, do you keep the slicks on or do you have street tires you change to?
Also, my car has manual steering. What size of tires for the front to be narrow enough for easier steering but not look funny on the street. Kev
