I would start with the +10 you have. We originally started with a +8 on asphalt with our 7mm race gas cub. It worked pretty well, but was pretty violent & a hand full at times. We went to a +14 & went faster. The quad was much easier to ride. Now, if I was street racing I would look at shortening the arm up a little more.

sleeper06 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I street race with a plus 6 if you come out on a +14 no one wants to play so gotta, keep it looking sleeper ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 As for your question about a longer swinger making you lose HP the answer is it WILL slow you down if the added length makes you have to run much larger tires than needed for your HP level. Same as with sand. Guys I know with approx 90-115 hp run a +10 on asphalt and American Racer 20x8x10 SD23 compound tires. If you are running a less sticky tire you may spin like crazy with a +10. Hope that is of some help to you. Radar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I street race mine in the summer and when a bike with a +14 rolls out no one wants to play. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotmils? Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Thanks guys I run both And right now ive got 20.5x10x10 are these tires to much? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 You havent said what motor or hp range. Those would be too much for a gas 350 but with a motor over 90hp or so you should be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LT ROOKIE Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I am using the same tire with a 10mm cheetah. I believe the longer swingarm would allow you to leave the line faster and smoother as long as u have traction. I've seen a drag ported 10 mill cub on alky have trouble off the line with a plus six.

fastkid Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Don't mean to hi jack but I have the same question but for sand. Have a +12 chassis, 125ish hp build in mind, and around 210lbs, I weigh 160ish. Was originally thinking an 8, but 10 might be better. Oregon sand.
