Just curious if anyone had any info on how much is actually gained by swiching from my stock rear wheels to skinnies on the back? I'm running 24.5x7x13 slicks on the front right now and car runs 11.5 on 15psi until I retune and turn the boost up.
thanks,
Jared

 

you know thats a good Q ...id like to know as well ever since weld came out with thier 4-100 skinny rear drag rim..

 

in my friends bullshit little low 14 sec ek picked up like a 1/10 or 2 by putting boagart skinnies on the rear. not too bad if you ask me .

 

app. 2-3mph & 2/10th's on a 10seconed car. less unsprung wieght and less rolling resistance.

 

We have used a set of skinnies on our car and our times did not change .

 

going from what wheel and tire?

 

I would be going from a cheap 14" aluminum wheel with cheap tires to bogart skinnies most likely. Right now I just run a lot of pressure in the rears.

 

app. 2-3mph & 2/10th's on a 10seconed car. less unsprung wieght and less rolling resistance.

That is exactly what I saw going from a 11.06 to a 10.84. I switched from a 9lb enkie with 225/50/15's on the rear.
