I am leaning that way....a little more weight to hook up well can't hurt that much....

 

sorry doc,,,the more weight the harder the car has to work to turn the wheels, look at it this way,, if you go from a very small tire ,,say on a jeep, the you put a airplane tire ,, you will brake an axle tring to get a burn out. this is why very expensive racing rims weight 10 to 14 lbs and slicks are on the light side also.

1. lighter tire and rim on the rear the better,
2. narrow lightweight with high air pressure on the front.

 

I know Jim, but having very light cars with no way to improve the rear end set up...just maybe a little more weight somewhere would help...I believe what I have now with the Hoosier and rims is by far the best set up, but willing to experiment a little. Although my summer tire compound has netted a better 60' than the drag radials, but they aren't consistant. I haven't made up my mind yet, but I appreciate the advise.

 

AMX- got the wheels today, thanks again. thumbs up for fed ex, got them here in 3 days, hopefully I can get outta work this weekend and get to the drag strip
