Swing-axle and the inherent negative camber doesn't like wide tyres as much as IRS.
Ah, I never thought of that, yes the tires are 235 in the rear, on 9" rim, I think i'm gonna do an IRS anyway. What i'd really like to do, is plug up my stock tranny, and see how fast that goes boom, then I can figure from there what trans to replace it with. The swing axle idea is probably more ideal for me for the 1/4, but as I told the guys at rancho, I DO want to eventually drive the car from CT to NJ, for a car show, and that aint happening with a car tahts totally dedicated to the 1/4, i'd like to have somewhat of a highway car. Besides, the gearing will be my main concern next, don't know if I should either go for a 1 to 3 close ratio, and a tall *** 4th for the highway, or just bite the bullet and get a 5th gear tranny (Berg or what ever)
