I knew this was going to happen now that I added a supercharger.
I need to take some gear out or use a taller tire or overdrive. What is the tallest tire than will fit an 89 LX, anyone have any idea? I'm topping out at 7000 RPM about 100 feet or more before the finish line, so I need to shave at least 1000 RPM off. 6000/7000=.857 *4.10 = 3.51 gear (3.55 will work) or 1.17*26 = 30 inch tall tire.
Will a 30 inch tall tire fit, or am I stuck changing gears from the 4.10 down to a 3.55?
Or is there a transmission that will handle about 500 HP and take a repeated power shift into an overdrive gear? This is getting expensive.
