What size slick should I run on my T/A? I'm running 3:55's 4 speed with a 416 stroker at about 500hp. It has Espo T/A springs in the stock location. Thanks!!

I'd suggest:
26 in diameter, 10-11 inch wide.
Some would use 28 inch diameter. Depends on your driving habits. I use 26 inch, it keeps the RPMs up.

Yep, 26s will enhance the gear and the let the big cube breath.


Careful, your character's showing!

Yes. I use 275-50-15 tires. 11 inches wide (26" dia). Still have about 1/2 inch either side before wheel well or spring contact.
