Tire Diameter Differential

Cliff

Do you make any computer adjustments for the overall diameter differential between the stock 295/45/18 versus your new Proxes with a height of 26.5 inch diameter? Does this difference affect rpm shift points or is the change negligible?Great video from Sebring, by the way!!!

Yup, Sure did ... My 4-way has a really rich, low shift point, speedo correcting
tune from Sal that seems to be the real ticket for Road Racing.

I had those powder coated to not show the brake dust so much.
They are STOCK rims.

g-div, these are race compound tires. traction wise WAY better then 555's, but they will not last as long.

Cliff -- very nice my friend!
