60ft times vs tire height

yes thats what i figured adjustable front/rear shocks would help weight transfer also.

maybe try some 4.56 or 488 gears.should net a 1.55 60'times.

Also think of it this way... its cheaper to change
a gear than it is to buy a set of tires.... tires
about $450 and a gear and set up is $320 or less

the tires are at the wear bars m/t drag radials,thats why i was asking about shorter tires.thanks mike

You can change the drive ratio either way, which should help. Leaving a taller tire on it and changing the gear would give a bigger footprint and would be the preferred method. As mentioned, you can do it with shorter tires, but it may take some additional time in chassis tuning.

Good Luck

the truck is street driven to the track.4.56/4.88 seem a little low for the street to me.i know i cant have best of both worlds street/strip,just trying to improve 60 fts some is all.

I run 4.56's with a 30" tall tire. Street driven most of the time, 1.60 60' times with a 3900# car. At 60 MPH I'm taching 3100 rpm.

I have a 28" tall tire and have a 1.35-1.36 60 ft

I would suggest look at shocks and other chassis adjustments

I run 4.30's with a 30" tall tire myself in my 63 with a mild 440. It goes 3700 lbs with me in it and my best 60 is a 1.57 with my average in the low 1.60's on tracks with not so great hook. It works good for my street driving as with my 9.5 Dynamic converter it tachs about 3100 at 60 mph. I drive it on the highway all the time as I drive it the 45 miles to the track also. More gear might help your 60 but I would think suspension help should work also as you are much lighter then my 63 and should 60 ft as good or better then I do. My 63 is about 500 flywheel hp and has a best 1/8 of 7.28 @ 93.74 mph and a best 1/4 of 11.49 @ 116. And my converter flashes about 4200 and works real nice. Good luck , Ron

it would also look better w/ shorter rear tires IMO
