I'm gonna try my shorter tires first. If it looks like I wouldnt lose much going to the 28" I'm gonna try it. I'd like to be able to keep it in third to help the transmission out.

If I'm running on motor I run 275/40r17 drag radial. The car does loose a tad bit of steam on a 28 all motor.

Thanks!
But it's not her first time down the track, her car runs high 11s. Just her first time ever going WOT in the corvette or making a pass in it.

That is fricking awesome! You got yourself a keeper there for sure!

I love those SS cars. Man, that trans is shifting really crisp too! That thing would really haul *** with just a little bit of spray on it...

So funny you say that. I keep telling her I'm going to spray it and she says no so I posted this on her Instagram. I'm really happy with her trans tune. In drive you would never know it's tuned until going WOT. Then sport is her race tune for shift points/pressures.
