Posted by widebodied, Nov-25-02 01:46 PM
as you guys know im running 19s and my motors not together as of now, i know ill be losing a little hp because of the wheels, but. will i ben gaining any by reducing wheel spin? what do you think the pros and cons will be? you guys think i will have to up the boost a couple psi's to perform with the average stage 3 guys? all the constructive critisim will be well appreciated, thanks for the space 2gnt! fellas let me know

P.S, ive been seeing alot of negative and agressive replys to alota different threads, we are a team here! i could care less if you guys think 19s suck or why put 19s on if you want performance, i dont car! keep your punkass opinions to your self!;)

from my understanding, the lower sidewall youve got on the 19s is only better for cornering, for launching you will probably need a few more psi because when the tires dont give a little, they spin, if the thicker (taller) sidewall shifts it takes time off the launch.. this is what ive been told.. but im no expert.

i think its kinda give n take... there may be some science to it, but the larger diameter or circumference, the faster, or higher mph you can go in each gear, but the longer it will take to get there..

w/smaller diameter/circumference tires, your car will be going slower or lower mph in each gear, but get there faster.....

i have 205s on the rear, and 235s up front, and i trap at 85/86ish at the track, but my speedo says about 95-97mph, and im just into fourth, or at the top of third...

i think at stage 3, go for 14-14psi, and watch your timing.. u will be quick, and big pimpin...



hopefully that all kinda goes together....

thats exactly what i was thinking, i guess if i really wanted to run her, i would have to get a cheap set of 17s, i got a big break upgrade so my 14inch slicks wont work (sold already fellas). gotta be 17 and up to fit over the brakes,. 17inches with somme nice DOT slicks HMMMMM, thats another option.
