3.73's - I am interested to hear your feedback on that gear with the Whipple. I have the PP1 and removed those 3.55 gears and went to 3.15's as that seems to be the setup of choice for drags (which is my first priority for the car). How do you find the higher gears on the street? I assume you are driving around on DR's? 1-2 a realistic thing etc?
nope on 315/30/20 555g2's. 1st and 2nd are useless trying to put down power. 3rd you have to roll into the throttle if you stab it you better hold on. It is great for Canyons and back roads. Freeway rolls from 50 or 60 are good as it just keeps pulling until you let off.
Wow! Those are not a soft tire...Have you thought about Toyo R888's or Nitto 555R's? I understand not wanting to go to a DR - they can get pulled by any undulation in the road and suck at handling - plus zero rain safety.
They have been good for daily driving and yes you have to be very careful with the go pedal. makes every time you get behind the wheel very interesting.
For the record - I would like to say that the T56 Magnum XL name could not possibly become more machismo if it tried lol...could literally be a name for a condom brand.
Having been in this position before - there are alternatives. I had 555R's on my rears and 555G2's for my fronts. That provided some solid traction and still provided good handling and daily manners. I went to Toyo R888's after that - and they were superior but not by much. IMHO 555G2's are way too hard a tire compound for rears on an FI RWD car. Since you have the G2's in the front - it would just be a rear swap. Up to you of course. I am going ET Street R with my setup - as I am not looking to canyon carve with this setup.
