I wasn't really talking about the tires anymore, but the fact I could get lower gearing and be fine for whatever tire.

You're right. It doesn't hurt to give room for growth. Plus when I go boost in years down the road and swap to 3.31s, that will help prevent me from going into 5th hopefully...

Brent is/was trapping around 118 with his setup consisting of Boss IM, and all those other goodies. I would think I would be slightly below that, but I don't mind going with a 27" tire at all....

Assuming my redline is set to 7200 RPM, in 4th gear (1.32:1) with 3.55s and a 27" tire, I'll be turning around 123-124 MPH.

A 26" tire would basically give me 118-119 MPH at 7200 RPM redline

Would a 37" tire be better suited for the slight taller gears? Should only be a difference in ~400-500 RPM, I think. Would have to do the math.

Would, but Stephanie has her surgery so I will likely be helping her.

So the ET streets are a good tire for someone like myself to get for track use on a manual?

The ET streets are the DOT slick, right? I've always heard that manuals need to go with something other than DRs, because they are too stiff to take the drivetrain shock.
