Default new awd cam only record!!!!

the truck is cam only. rear seats out, pass seat out, no jack or spare or spare tire carrier. running on 17 chrome envoy wheels with 245/45/17 hoosier drag radials. I have to say thanks to Lt1z (Matt) for specing a great cam and Fast Motorsports (Brandon) for a great cam tune and finishing the loose ends i had. I had 2 back to back 12.033 times to start off the day while it was still cool out. I had a 12.083, 12.079, 12.059, 12.117 and i think the worst was a 12.18. heres one of the 12.033 time slips

Congrats Marty. That setup is just about perfect to maximize a cam only AWD and it shows in the times.

Can someone explain the benefits to the smaller wheels? Just quicker down low? What tires are recommended? I have 17" steelies but not sure if it would be ideal to put new rubber on them for the track?

I know your very intelligent person so I dont know if you were joking or not.

but, best reson is weight, tire options, and yes depending on gear ratio and shit, people change them up so lets say they dont have to do the last shift kind of thing

No, not joking at all! I've seen a lot of guys up here on the hill running with the stock 20's in the past, Spddman to mention one name, and he ran 11.5's! Aside from Ross, who is NOW 2WD, I don't think I've seen an AWD on smaller wheels and DR's on all 4 corners. I didn't think traction would really be an issue on an AWD truck until you get into HUGE HP numbers, at which point I see guys convert to 2wd. Pardon the ignorance on my part Thanks for explaining!! Would DR's be good on crappy old steelies?

Sorry, back to OP/Topic!!

The 245/45/17 size is perfect for the steel spares on an AWD. There are a lot of EVOs in the 9's running that tire setup. You haven't seen many AWD DR setups because most people didn't want to buy 4 wheels and tires.
