I am running a 26.0" tire at the drag strip (255/50/16), which I think is the diameter that is on the SRT6. On the street I am running a 25.0" tire currently (255/40/17), but I am going to switch back to the OEM 24.7" tires on the next set (245/40/17). The 255 street tires slightly rub in some conditons. There is about a 5% gearing variance in tires sizes right there. But switching to a 3.27 would be a 6.5% reduction in gearing. I just re-read
Anthony's thread and I am
really interested in 3.27 gears now...
