Default What slick size for 300whp

I'm making close to 300whp and I don't know if I should go with a 22" or a 24" tall tire. Advice please

depends on a few factors:

1. how high RPM you taking it up to.
2. how much power you are making
3. Gearing and Final Drive, what transmission are you using

I bought the 24's from you for my built H22, I have a GSR with GSR tranny and I'm going to rev it to 8500. Its a stock motor.

the 23s will work with this setup. I'm assuming turbo? if so, the you can also push the 24s. but considering rpm, the trans, I think the 23s is better.

Theoretically you want to cross the line right at the top of fourth?

I'm thinking for 1/8 mile 24's would be better because that would be top of 3rd.
