the smaller the better!

These boats of ours have very bad gearing and would recommend a small diameter to launch you off the line quicker. Takeoff is everything.

I just got myself a couple standard 16" steelies with 245 slicks

They are abit smaller and lighter weight = better acceleration and horsepower at the wheels.

Low profile tyres encourage wheel spin. I would suggest 15 inch wheels. Circuit racing slicks aren't really going to offer that much more traction than good street tyres. Too big a burnout will make street tyres greasy and can also have a negative effect on traction. Pressure in 15's, start aroung 26-28 psi. Just my opinion, been there, tried a lot.

Just the standard 16's with the Goodyear NCT-5's and 33psi.

My fastest qtr mile time, prob about 40secs
