Default Re: New to S/Gas, Got couple questions.

My old Willys was similar weight /HP .
I had no problems running the same size tire on 15" rims, but I did prefer the D06 compound.
I'd expect to loose 5-6 MPH on the stop in SG at that HP level.
I'd find other places than the battery to save weight , you can buy a lot more light stuff for the front end for what one of those batterys cost !
The smaller front tires can be worth a hundreth or two, plus work with the suspension to pick up the R/T.
