HAHA spares! I love it! I was thinking gerbil exercise wheels but this is a much better option!

this thread is giving me bad ideas.
i really want to take my higher spot on the NA times back and i know to do so i need to adjust the camber, toe, springs, weight, etc... but i DD my car and changing all that then back to drive seems like a pain in the ass. soooooo i'm using my credentials and looking up wrecked 370's with good engines lol maybe a drag set-up only 370 is in my future as a project.

The 2 issues with front wheel setup is the BBK size (best bet is to throw on base brakes for drag days. Second is the spares I don't think are rated above 55mph so trying to do double that might cause some issues.

And the spares are rated for 55mph for 50 miles. I know many who have gone 100+ and over 500 miles on spares.

Then again, I bet it would be easy to fit some slightly better tires on the spare wheels that can support a faster speed.

And IIRC there isn't any tire you can put on the spare. No one makes a 18" tire that fits a 4-5" wheel

You know what I always say when someone dies..."Can I have his stuff?"

You should be able to find a spring setup that works for track and street. I am currently putting a pair of BC's on for daily/track use. I am going with a 10K/12K setup which is similar to OEM setup. You could probably do the same but depending on your corner weights might have to up the front(sure your front is heavier than mine).
Are you doing true types in the rear or OEM? The diff is a no brainer. Switch to solid diff bushings and just throw any of the reputable diffs in there-Quaife, Geiken, Cusco. I bet that alone takes off .5 second. For front wheels , I would just get an el cheapo pair of 18"x8" wheelsand throw some 100 dollar Goodyear touring/eco low rolling resistance tires on there. They don't have to be top fuel eliminator bicycle tires, but there's no reason to be running grippy 275's up front if you are going in a straight line. Using spare tires rated to 55MPH sounds a little sketchy . Also running 4.08 gears at 600 HP would just make your problem worse. The problem is traction, not HP. There's literally nothing else to the equation.
