Asphalt wheel setup

[Gee323]

I have an 4 mil. Cut transmission 1 to 5 , 35mm pj carbs , cool head with 19cc domes to fit 4mil , 792 66mm pistons dune cut porting in the cylinders. 

WILL AN 18x10x8 HOOSIER JR DRAG SLICK BE TOO SMALL ?

Or what would you recommend?

18" diameter is tiny, smaller tire = more rpms..... you will top out at what? 80 mph?

doing 300 ft? 1/8 mile?

[Gee323]

1/8 mile

[Toybreaker]

definitely too small.

 

kenda K547 or quarter midget tires are a better option. get your diameter (rollout) up, can get a higher top speed and not be on the rev limiter by 300 feet....

18" and 19" slicks are what we run on the 1/8. Longer than that, American Racer is better.

You could also play with your gearing. We run 18-19 front sprocket and small rear (36-37-38). If your motor can pull a 19 front, play with the rear one because it's faster to change it.

Bigger front sprocket does put less stress on the output shaft, so it's a win/win.
