I was making only a little more than that and was pulling 1.6 60's in my 2,000 lb. Civic on 23" M&H's. Switched to 24.5's and my 60's suffered. ITR trans with 4.7 FD.

Re: What slick size to use? (AllMoToRB18c)
with the gears you have a 22 will charge harder on the topend. i did my calculations with you shifting around 9k if you shift higher than that definetly go 22's.
its all about how you set the car up. many people will use extra slick to make up for a car not hooking. when in fact its the chassis thats the problem and your just putting a band-aid over the problem. its not something that you can just learn over night either, it took me about 3 yrs worth of tinkering to get where im at now. but i can make a 24.5/7 dead hook with 9 psi and leaving at 7500. with more power and less weight than you.
