Are we all getting so soft that we have to have overdrives and air conditioning in our drag week entry's? I have driven thousands of miles at 70 mph with 3.23 and a 26" tall tire and no air. I would think a 3.55 and a 28" tire would be comparable. To be sure I am also spoiled to air conditioning but its drag week not drag year. To me doing it in a vehicle without all the comforts would be part of the challenge. Just interested in others thoughts on this.

No A/C here.... and why not run OD... all its doing
is saving wear and tear on the engine... as for the
comfort... you are giving up being lighter but again
why not have some comfortable seats... basically I
have the stock interior in my Rampage... I was looking
at some race type seats but they are taller than I
wanted and I only have X amount of width to play in
so its the stock ones for now
Also on the OD... when I'm out on the E-way I like
to run about 80 so thats about 3000 rpm in OD... for
the city I dont need to run it or I can leave it on
but the OD cant take the hard accelerations
EDIT
I'm running a 4.10 gear with 28" tires
