Been mentioned by a few other speed freaks , but the cost looks like being high :shock:

so an easier cheaper way , well not cheap....
with more then a few benny's are the BST carbon fiber wheels
larger diameter tire & rim :wink:
It may be a little less effective as trans gearing
but it will change ratios some what , it will handle better
reduce weight and rolling mass all a plus :!:
eg: every 2" in tire height would be like changing rear end gearing from
a 4:10.1 ratio to a 3:73.1
and reversing with a 2 " short tire :wink:

How will those carbon fibre wheels handle the massive R3 torque, dragline?

My 150 RWHP Rock is good for 150+ mph uncorrected, 142-144 corrected.

I know. I've done about 10+ top speed runs, with maybe 10 more "jaunts" to that speed, and one high speed dash with two nekkid Z1000's in pursuit-which smoked my stock clutch springs...
Prior to tune boy, the speedo would go past the 145 has mark the equivalent of 150 mile per hour.
The Tune Boy corrects this, since the Rocket speed is 5-7% progressive, hence the real top speed for an 80-90 degree, soaking wet humidity, 145-150 RWHP Rock is 142-144 mph. This is not GPS corrected, but based upon Hombre's GPS corrections. The corrections effectively lower "top speed."
I am sure with some more timing pulled and some creative fueling, I may be able to achieve 148-150C mph with my current mods and aeros.
With 60-70 degree low humidity air, and some minor fuel tweaks-I am confident I could reach that now.
So yes, I'd say that's from experience :wink:
Stock I believe will generate 135-145 mph uncorrected.
