What Rusty sez! Fact is, Taller tire gets you a much better footprint at the drag strip.
Or maybe, build a second, much lighter car, for drag race use and leave the street/ road racer as is?
I'm not building a race car it's to be a daily driver but I'd like to go to a few drag and autox races a year. Obviously it's ability to do either well will be hampered by taken street as a preference. If I get bitten by the racing bug I'll probably build a race only car but first I'm focusing on this car.
But I'm not one to just throw in 3.23 or 3.55 and called it a day I believe drivetrain should be designed to work as a whole even at this level.
It seems to be getting lost what I'm asking.
If I was building 327 Chevy with a 2 speed powergilde and 4.25 gears. Which would shift and cross the line at optimal rpm or would 3.23 and a 3 speed be better and try to find compromised shift points?
But using the 904 as a 2 speed it's like I'm getting an OD in 3rd cause I'll be running at 2.76 instead of 4.25 or even 3.23 if I go that way.
