M/T 28" W`S.................

Who`s running these and at what speed/et. I have 29.5 10x5`s on a 10" rim and can`t stand the "jacked up" stance+ they`re 94 in circ iirc and the 28w`s are 88..............thankxxx................This is on a 72 Dart and would love pics if you have em also........

We ran STD 28x10.5's on the Valiant. It went 9.0's at 150

Cool AL, like a dumbazz I trimmed the rear fender wells to clear the 29`s and don`t want it to look too goofy............

Tint the windows... DARK! lol had to

Oh, we have a comedian on board...........

28x10.5 non w

NICE..........I just might try these and they were on a friends low 8-second Mustang who now runs the 8.5 class.........

9.14@145

Dom will you have to change rear gears when you switch to a shorter tire or do you have room for more RPM?

My 9.79 was w/a Hoosier QTP w/91 cir. and 7200 at the stripe so w/an 88 cir. maybe the math wizes can figure that out but mostly just hate the 29.5 stance and obviously they work on bad ass cars..........

What's your gear ratio

Wow, yea you'll need to switch to a different gear for sure I would think. Over 7200 RPM is quite high although some guys run more with a big block, it would make me nervous at the stripe though.

Roughly 3 1/2% drop in diameter. So 7200 x 103.5 = 7452. Plus, if you plan on going a little faster, 7600-7800? Can you add a spacer block between the spring and perch to lower the back end?

The 275 pro tire circ is 89 and the Phoenix 28.5 x 10.5 is at 90 and are about $186 each at Jegs.

4.10`s..........Already on 2" blocks.......

No E.T. to report... 28 x 13.5 Hoosier QTPs. Moved the rearend back approx. 2" when installing the ladder bars rather than cut on the 1/4s for clearance.(plus i like the stock wheelwell look). Only downside to doing that is slightly less weight on the rears,

I would run it with the 4.10s.

Brad, You excel at Photoshop!

Dom, It's a small block. Thumbs Up?

Current gear/29"tire.
135.5 mph x 4.10 gear x 336/29" tire = 6436.+ 12% vert slip, =7209rpm

Same gear/28"tire.
135.5 mph x 4.10 gear x 336/28" tire = 6666.+ 12% vert slip,=7466rpm

I can steal anyone's photo!!

Don't forget it's NA too....

MP .590 cam as I recall also....

Looks good man.................

Damn, some of them puppys straight out fly...........

Ain't that the truth.

Was even wondering if my vert slippage has to do w/the trap r`s and lookin back, I trapped bet 6700-7200 depending...........

Mounted up the 28x10.5 w`s today unbalanced and went for a blast and they seem very smooth to me although the reduced circumference makes fwy driving a bit high r`s wise but no biggie. After my blast I pulled the car in the shack and a minute later the good ol Sheriff`s went screamin by..............

Those calcs don't factor in bias-ply tire growth, so your slippage isn't that high.

So when you taking it to the track?

If my friends car isn't ready in time for the Vegas race, he`ll tow me this Thu. for an 1/8th mile jaunt at Irwindale............ Kinda curious what if any gains I`ll see w/all of the changes and weight reduction I`ve made in the last two years.............

What's the side to side width on them and what rim size are you using?

Do you mean section width? Didn't measure it but I`m on a 10" rim and their chart shows something like 13.1 ............

Yes on the section width and yes with a 10in rim. Every book I saw with specs had a diff one lol. I was looking at them or the 12.5 qtp. If you can measure yours I would appreciate it.

They are close to their 13.1 section width and I love the QTP`s in the 29x13.5 size myself but have never been on a real slick w/this motor combo so hopefully we`ll soon see............

Hey Dom
Don't know what springs your running but I too hated the air shock look of the 70's. I put a set of calverts mono's with the 1" lower spring set up. In actuality it was closer to 2" drop. Had to buy shorter shocks also.

The rear segments are many years old and I went w/the 25" ft. deal a couple years ago so not sure but may hit up calvert about the rear section after I get a few good passes on it as it sits..........
