Very interesting.....thanks for your input. The motor is ready to go in and we plan to put some breakin miles on the car with all the changes that we did. When we are confident everything is the way we want it I am going to dive off and do the tires and rear gear. What rear gear ratio are you running? We did a T-56 swap on my car and going to the taller tires I am going to need more gear than my current 3:31.

I am interested in your take on running the 275-50-15's in the front. What type of driving do you typically do? Is it as heavy feeling in the steering as people have said it would be? My car is a 100% street car that I do not drive in the rain nor track. We don't really have any crazy backroads around here so it doesn't see any hardcore spirited driving other than lots of 100mph sprints and rollons. It is purely a cruiser that I like beat on occasionally.
