Was wondering if you all might have some ideas about what the difference might be if I change the front tire diameter from 24" to 25" or 26". Car is 2400 lb. door car and I run Hot Rod and Top bulb Bracket racing. Car does sit a bit higher in the rear right now. Thanks for your input.

Hi Dave,
26" tire has a roll out of 81"
25 tire has a roll out of 78" 1/4
24 tire has a roll out of 76" 7/16
The taller tire has more roll out giving you a running start at the clock that helps et but slows R/T.
If you just want to raise the car at the front just adjust the coil overs. Or just go to the 25" tire. Hope this helps.

Was thinking of going from a 26" up to a 27"

Worried about reaction times off the food though. Need to come up on the converter to 3000-3200 now to cut a decent light.
