Glenn, The current SLR (starting line ratio) is 15.83 3.08 first gear and 5.14 rear gear, 3300lbs and 400ish hp would be an SLR of 18. So if it will spin harder in the lights I could go with a 5.38 gear with a 3.19 first and be at 17.16 SLR. May be worth a litttle E.T. I think the lowest first ratio I can get is a 3.28, the other trans ratios would fall in line based on dyno sheets.

Borrowed a set of Weld 15x10 wheels to see if they fit, tire was wrong 28/10.5x15 but they fit pretty well I think, tight but the 10"ers fit. Compared to what I think are 15x8 wheel and a 30/9x15. Going with M/T 29.5/9.0x15 tire and a 10" rim I guess.

Is there a mathematical formula for determining SLR on a stick car? I'd be curious to see how far off my old race car was.

Are you going to be running lightweight radials?

Eventually. Starting with M/T bias to test a clutch theory, then we're going to test the radial.

Thanks guys. A lot of time and effort go into these stories, but it's the least I can do given all the help from everyone.
