Mark,
Why would you think he is a .90 racer. Even if he is what difference should it make the driver has a problem.

913,
I think the tire will help but not very much. The problem you will run into is it may help a race or two, then you will get comfortable and start going red again. I bottom bulbed for over 20 years. When the Led's came out it screwed me up. I fought it for 5 years. I built 3 different cars. Different e.t. range. The problem always came back. I won a lot of races and finished high in the points too, but the problem always came back. Not saying I gave up but I moved on. I found a home in Delay Box/.90 racing for now. I may come back one day, but will have to build a "BETTER MOUSE TRAP"
Some things we tried on the last 2 cars.
Tires-front and rear
RPM
Blocking
Timing
Rear Gears
Transmissions
Trans gear ratios
Convertors(Lots of them)
Headers
Header collectors
Traction bars
Weight (LOTS OF IT)
Weight in different locations
Mufflers
DeTune the motor which worked somewhat but did effect consistancy and then when you get a heads up you are out to lunch.
De Tune- with Cam Timing, different oil, More oil, We ran a holley and tried it on 2 bbl. etc, etc, etc,

We were trying to kill the initial move of the car but keep it fast and consistent.

Good Luck.
