.........Look out, but I think this is turning into another BB vs. SB thread!

Roy: Ernie was right on with his post. The 1/4 mile times of the 289 were very close to the 427 times, and it was mainly due to traction issues. You are already way ahead of a lot of us here, by going with the 17" tires and higher performance rubber (that is widely avail at that size vs. 15" tires). Your next step is to try and find the right "balance" for getting out of the hole and "hooking up". .........Nothing more fun than a little trial and error! :-)
