I posted this on VA and got lots of views but not much feedback.
I am currently running 335 35-17 Hoosier DOT drag radials that are 25.9" in diameter and have run a best time just under 12 seconds at 120 MPH in 3rd gear. In third I sometimes hit the rev limiter and sometimes do not.
I recently bought some 18" Forgelines and am looking at going to 345 35-18 MT ET Street II's that have a 27.5" diameter. I am guessing this will push me to about 127 MPH before hitting the rev limiter in third and will allow me to launch at a higher RPM (4,000 or so instead of 3,500).
Any advice before I order these? It does not look like the 27.5" tire would have any clearance issue on a 96 GTS. Anybody running the MT ET Streets fulltime with Pilot Sports up front? How does the car handle overall, and how are the MT ET Streets in the rain?
I am also going to install a VEC III with Sean Roes recommended tune for my minor mods (smooth tube, filters, HF cats and Borla cat back). Will Roe's VEC III tune raise the rev limiter RPM or will it be the same as factory? I dyno at 455 RWHP and have the stock 3.07 rear end.
