    It would not matter, big tire or not he can set records.. Steve knows his shit when it comes to dialing a car in!!

    I think it will run that now, but why? They win using a new car...LOL

    Not sure the big tire would make it faster, it's all setup for the small tire!! Give it time, he will be back with something a little better...

    I mean obviously they would have to dial in on the big tire, im not talking about just throwing a big tire on a 10.5 setup lol but it would allow them to launch harder, i assume they use some sort of boost by gear setup so they would be able to launch on a higher psi which would lower 60' times which would shave time off the et.....theoretically, and thats assuming the current setup is already as potent as it can be

    The big stuff they run has traction control which I'm sure plays a big part to the madness.. LOL
