I took the Cordoba to the track in Oct and managed to run a 14.250 with a 2.004 60-foot time on a pair of 275/60-15 BFG T/A radials. Obviously there was a some wheel spin but it wasn't awful. On my last run I was floating the valves at 5000RPM and decided it was time to change the springs. While the heads were off I decided to do a little bowl clean up and port matching. I finally made it back to teh track last week and had a LOT of wheel spin (one guy told me they looked like they were spinning until about 150 feet) so needless to say I think I've got more power than the T/A radials can handle:headbang:.
Now I'm looking at some drag radials and I've go a lead on a pair of brand new 235/60-15 BFG drag radials for $150. According to the information I've been able to dig up on these tires they are a little less than 2-inches shorter than the 275s (which will give me a roughly 7% increase in rear gear ratio) and have an 8/10ths of an inch narrower tread width.
Here's my question: Should I hold out for a set of 275s or will the stickier nature of the drag radials make the 235s adequate for my use?
