in those pics they are 255/60-15's... i now have a 275/60-15 on it.
they both hook awesome... i needed a set of tires at the last nmca race i went to, and they were out of 255's... so they sold me the 275's at the same price. they are great on the street, and dont wander like the m&h's i have on my truck.
car used to have 4.56's now they are 3.73. i lost 3 thousandths in the 60' going to the lower number gear, but picked up 4 mph, and nearly 3 tenths... i shift it at 7,200 rpm, and go through the traps around 5500-6000

ok, id have to stay with a lower gear. your big block has alot more torque than my small block. i'd like to trap around 6,500-6,800, as ill be shifting at 7,500.
right now i have shitty NT555R's on my nova, and it wont hook. i have 4.10 in the 10 bolt thats in it now, but im on my seond one.
i think ill go with a 4.56 in my 12 bolt.... thanks!

id stick the tallest tire you can fit in that thing if you run a 4.56...
i HATED the ones i had... the car sucked to drive anywhere... but left like you pushed it out of an airplane...
3.90, 4.11, 4.30 is about as high as i would go on the street...
only reason i went with a 3.73 is because i planned on spraying this thing.. and didnt want to run out of gear at 1000' like i was doing with the 4.56
plus it seems to like them, and i can drive the car down the highway at 60 ish mph.

Hmmm 4.30's sound good too.... I'm not too concerned with streetability cause I run 112 octane in it, which is expensive to say the least. And the cam in it is pretty hefty for what it is. It's a solid roller 264/271 duration with 630/630 lift

Just saw this Greg and must say that is a very nice stable of vehicles! Love the TA and of course your TBSS. I owned 3 TAs and they are awesome especially with the manual 6 spd.
