Default Re: Front Tire Size

Rich, got Afco double adjustable on the Bird that will be on your old ride in a few weeks being that I'm installing Afco BNC double adjustables in their place.

Made a run earlier this season where the MPH was nearly 1 1/2 faster that any run previous that day and couldn't figure it out till I looked under the nose and found a piece of plastic underbody adjacent to where the air dam would be, hanging low. Bolted it back in place and the MPH was 1 1/2 slower and back to where it had been all day. The underbody had obviously tripped the beams on that run and not the tire.

Good....Then if Larry lets me drive it I know I can get on the brakes without feeling like I blew out both front tires or maybe the springs collapsed....

PS today was a great day......had the day off and scored a brand new Ron's Terminator in a trade deal for my APD carb......nice....

agree, 27" tires here




but come down hard from a wheels up launch and you'll leave the inner liners on the track. Done that twice now, new liners will have the tops cut out.
