WoW.....dahhhhh I never thought about that..... I do have a pair of 25" street radials (165's) that I do plan to use on the street for at least awhile (setup) but it never dawned on me about the top speed issue. Not that I'm planning on doing 120 mph in the 1/4.....although doing that with single-carb383 stroker ALL-motor would be awesome....ha!!!!
Will keep looking for "
taller" front runners, Moroso or Mickey Thompson drag front tires..... still PLENTY of swap meets to go to this season.
BTW.... got a solid lead on a 400 turbo with 3800 stall setup for drag racing & also a "narrowed" 9" F**d rearend with Summers axles.
