I went from 275/50/r15 to 275/60/r15
How high is your compression?
How much gear are you running? That's a pretty good tire size change. Over 2 inches. What did you rev crossing the strip?
I believe its 11-1 with flat tops. 4.11 gears, and around five thousand rpms
I hit 105-115mph in the 1/4. I'm not consistant.
Yeah spinning it's hard to be consistent.
I'm guessing you were closer to 6000 rpm if your running that mph.
Is the new tire a drag radial?
What made you decide against nitrous? It would be a lot more bang for the buck and your not going to have to change pistons.

I thought i'd have to change em with n2o or any forced induction?
I have Forged internals already but I was planning on runnin low boost due to the age on the engine. And i dont have a clue where and how to set up the bottle.
With the smaller tires I'd hit 6500rpms after crossin the line in the 1/4 but i'm not 100% sure what it is.
And i still need new headers and mufflers.I'm gona make a run as is then see what my gains are.

If you have good internals and aren't tossing 250+ shot at it you can run spray with no problem.
The group of guys I run with are almost all running nitrous and running 11 to 12:1 compression. Most of them are running a 200 shot or more. You could keep things safe around 100 to 150 shot and still probably take a second off of your time. If not more, depending on traction.
There is a lot of good kits available today. It is very easy to set up a fairly cheap SAFE nitrous system. I would be glad to help point you in the right direction if you decide to go that way.
***WARNING***Nitrous is very addicting and is known for creating severe adrenaline rushes and heavifootitis. Please use with caution.
Check on amazon. I just found my headers for a great price and if join to become a prime member you can get free shipping on most items. It only cost me 3.99 to have mine overnighted.
