yup, i learned that here, then in school too(automotive). i had to convince my dad that the center profile number wasnt the width too, lol
thats because like me your dad is old school and that used to be the case, he wasnt wrong in his thinking, things have just changed.

true that.... old sizes known as "floatation" sizes are read like 26x10.5x15. where 26 is the overall tire height, 10.5 is the width and 15 is the rim size

The reason they need a taller tire is because they have topped out there power band in 4th gear before the the end of the track with a smaller tire.
exacly.
only because you bought the wrong gears early in your cars life.... Had you known what you car would run in the 1/4, you would have selected a different gear
i wanted to prove a stock longblock "H/C/I" aod car could run 12's like the stick boys. then i ran 26" tires with the 4.10's
now, i need 28" with the spray and still trap to high. now i plan to drop back to 3.73's.
most people dont know that nitrous drops the rpms of your peak power anywhere from 200-600rpms
mine peaks power n/a 4700-4800 and on the nitrous peak power is 4000-4100rpms
