275's back in full production....most places already have them. At least for now.

Ive never heard of such a thing. a mild bbc with those gears will probably go just as fast or faster with same shot. Only thing is the converter will not be as effecient. more spray will only compound the problem. leave it alone and see what happens.

ok thanks for reply so you recon just put the 28 inch tall tyre on with 342 gears and up the spray 50hp to compenstate for extra tyre height im traping at 6000 rpm,on 150shot, n/a power is 5700-5800 how many lees revs less would i expect to see going over the line converter is 11 inch 4000 flash thanks

No he's saying a 28" tire may not hurt your ET if you have a torquey big block on the hose. Extra nitrous may or may not flash the converter too much, resulting in a slower ET. Make 1 change at a time. Stay at 150 and add the bigger tires and report back the results. We're all into seeing timeslips! Watch the rpm's at the finish line. Then decide if you want to try the 200 shot. goodluck!
