That's what I was thinking. I was reading some older threads and it looks like the FED guys are running much smaller tires? I was wondering about the benefits to a smaller or bigger tire. I know bigger takes more power to pull but what about handling? vs traction? I actually prefer the narrow tire look but how small is to small?

Thanks again, 50-R

So, here is my next question. Tires, same car, 125" Funny Car now an altered, BBC/PG on gas, looking at 8:50 and/or Super Comp. They have 17x33x15 on 15x15 rims on this thing and I need new rims anyway. I am thinking about 14x32 on 12" rims so they will fit my door car also. any suggestions ?

Thanks, 50-R

I thought it would need to be a 15. Looks like a trip to Security Race Products in December for their once a year sale, fourth custom suit, hope the cut me a break.
Thanks for the heads up on Dragster Supply.

New guy here, what I have is a Funny car that is now an Altered, 6:00 cert that I hope to run Super Comp with. My first two questions are, Driving suit, looks like the sfi-5 that I have won't do so, do I need a 15 or a 20? Secondly, looks like I will need a driveline tunnel (MW coupler shaft) the only kit I see is the S&W, is there any other choices?

Thanks 50-R
