Ever try 10" wheels, Jacob? When I first started playing with mine (It used to be my daily driver) I had 9" tires on it, running high nines. I back-to-backed (same day) two new sets of tires on 8" versus 10" wheels. Worth 2 to 3 hundredths in 60', same in 1/4 mile.

Wish I could drive like you.

Thank you Ed! It has been a tough season so far with car issues and I've seem to be able to bring out the best in my opponents lately so round wins have been very hard to come by.
We do run a 10" wheel on the Volare but with the stance and narrow wheel wells of the Barracuda I don't feel the 10" wheel would fit very well. The car works so good as it is I would be apprehensive to change the suspension setup to get a little wider wheel on it.
