Unless a "75 shot" or any forced induction will be a part of your setup soon. I would go w/ some 22x8x13's. The car in my sig (350whp B18c1) made that 11.7 pass on 22's

We have used a 100 shot single foger and direct port on stock internals with no problem. Both cars were untuned and running a little rich.

Most mildy built 200WHP B-Series set ups do fine with 22x8x13.

However, because the H22A have more torque, you benefit from a bigger contact patch. You can do this by using a taller tire such as 23x8x13 or 24.5x8x13, or you can use a wider slick, like 22x9x13.

By going with a taller slick, you increase contact patch for your launch, but you decrease your gearing. So instead, use 22x9x13, and go to a taller slick when you have enough power to hit redline in 4th gear at the end of the 1/4 mile.

I agree and just went through this personally with my H22 Teg. It's pretty much stock and makes 200/164 and the 22's would not cut anything better than a 1.8 60'. After speaking with John at M&H he recomended the 23x8x13 and I haven't seen anything worse than a high 1.7 with several 1.6's. I was afraid that I would loose some MPH however I held the mph and ran quicker ET's.
btw- I use a stock US H22 tranny.

My suspension is set a little high to compensate for the motor hanging down further and the smaller tire. With the 23's is has been much better. I run OEM axles and so far I have been fine. Make sure you preload the drivetrain before the launch.

maybe with Nitrous, that's too big for a mild H22 w/stock FD.
