Took my car to Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds Ga. yesterday with the new slicks.
I had determined the car had too much tire on it with the 28x9 `s and so I got some 26x8.5 slicks to try. Best time was : 60ft. --- 1.790
1/8 th et --- 7.79
1/8th mph---89.49 mph 1/4 et ---12.20
1/4 mph --- 112.35 mph Best times with the old 28" tires was
12.45 @ 109.3

.25 is a lot of improvement. of course you added a little more gear by going with the shorter tires!  ------------------

Assuming your rearend ratio is still the same as you have posted in your gallery (4.11-1), it tells us that your combo is 'happier' running at the higher rpms as it crosses the stripe: With the previous 28" tall slicks and 4.11 gears you were running the 1/4 at 12.45 @ 109.3mph; putting you crossing the stripe at 5391 rpms. With the new 26" tall slicks 4.11 gears you ran the 1/4 in 12.20 seconds @ 112.35 mph, should be putting you crossing the stripe at 5967 rpms. http://users.erols.com/srweiss/calcrpm.htm Good Job!
Ryan Remind us what cam, heads, carb, weight, etc. your running in that hot Mav!!
