Wow can't believe I though Id run faster with a better RT last night! lol Thats what working 15 hours straight with little to no sleep will do to ya when mixed with Jager[:@][:'(] Anyway, will I see an noticeable improvement by dropping to a 26 inch tire from my current 27 inch? Reason I ask is with the 27 inch rear tires ( Kuhmo ASX ) the car feels much faster with the 4.10's but will only spin the tires a foot or two from a dead stop. Driving my buddies 91 AOD LX ,stock except for exhaust and 4.10's with a 26 inch tire, spins like crazy and feels faster than mine. Can an inch difference in tires make that much of a difference?

ask pro about that he had a 28" tall tire and ran 12.6 then he threw on 26" tires and ran a 12.1

im assuming.......the more taller tire you put on, the more steeper gears you will need

12.6 to 12.1 by dropping from a 28" to a 26"! I wouldn't have figured it made that much of a difference, so I guess I could expect to drop 1.5-2 tenths in the 1/8 by going with a 26" tire from a 27" then.
