This topic reminds me of a customer I had in the NYC area some years ago. He had a nicely warmed-over 440 in a 70 Cuda(11.20 car iirc) using a 9 inch stock eliminator tire he got used from a bud he had. Well he wanted a steam roller look .., went the whole route ...spent 5k$ or something like that and SLOWED DOWN a bunch ! ......same gearing same weight .... Just pulling a big tire down the track ....
