Quick ? what can i expect switching to a 24" tire
I know there are some programs to calculate this all but just need a bit of info regarding et/mph/rpm change seen in when downsizing.
In general i believe the et's should come down, mph as well, but rpm's on the top should come up some but roughly how much for each?
Currently running a 26" Hoosier QTP on an evo9 trans w/ evo8 4th crossing the traps at 8200 rpm but was wondering what i can expect to see if i were to switch to a smaller diameter tire say a 24".
Thanks

Figuring with the 26" tire and 3.73 gear ratio (unsure of gear ratio)
170.11 mph
With the 24" tire an 3.73 gear ratio
157.03 mph
Those are the MPH where you will run out of gear. I just got done with that class last session so if you need and of the formulas, just let me know and ill send them to you. They are fairly easy to figure out.

Shifting to 5th will kill your ET and MPH period. I have run everyone of my evo's on stock valvetrain to mid 8k without one issue. Now that I have a built valvetrain mid 9k rpms are no problem. This info is based on evo 8's 4th gear. Anyways, a 5th gear shift is suicide....
