Default 22 inch slick

I am putting a turbo on my 2000 Acura integra with a gsr in it. When I finish it I want around 300 to 350hp. I was thinking of getting some 22 inch slicks because I will be able to fit them on my car with out raising it up. Will a 22 inch slick be good for me?

If it's a gsr tranny that you're running, you'll probably be out of gear before the end of the track with the 22's

23's would be a better choice in my opinion.

All depends on the rpm you spin up to and the mph. I would imagine you would be fine up to 120mph give or take a bit.

mess around with the transmission calculator

i figure that a gsr around 300-350hp should probably trap mid 110's give or take a bit

With a 23 inch slick in fourth gear I would top out at around 120 reving out at 8000rpm

I'd say 24.5 too maybe 23. I would recommend raising car anyway it common to "cut" slicks at the end of the track under breaking if it's not raised enough. You don't wanna Runin some slicks.

If you do get the 22" and worried about running out of gear at the end then turn up the rev limiter. I would hope you have a upgrades valve train when running anykind of boost.

24.5 is too big for 300 hp. 23" would be your best bet. If the 22 are cheap than get them and deal with running out of gear.
