I have 33" tall slicks out back with Cal Tracks suspension with stock height monoleafs. I have to buy front drag skinnies and I was wondering which height should I get. 27" 28" or 29"????

If it is going to be a ten second car or faster, then a tall tire for foot brake to keep the car reaction slow enough. For super classes, very short. Bracket racing with a box, no difference. 8..603 156 mph best, 2905 lbs 549, indy 572-13, alky

What class....we just do heads up racing down here in Peru. I would like to run in the 9s...maybe low 9s after some engine upgrades in the future...

Full tree (Sportsman tree) you get the lights coming down... pro tree is the pre stage, stage then the green... either a .400 or .500 pro tree

Full tree (Sportsman tree) you get the lights coming down... pro tree is the pre stage, stage then the green... either a .400 or .500 pro tree We dont get the lights coming down in .5 intervals.... but after the stage light we do get the amber lights flashing real fast before the green light. I guess its a pro tree then? I tought a pro tree was then the green light went on after the stage light with no amber lights in between.
