I don't know man, I regularly go WOT in my area and some highways around here regularly have traffic going 90+ mph most of the day. Law enforcement for speeding must be devastating in your area...

To each their own.



The SS wheels are too small as well. You need at least 305’s in the back.

LOL. 305s are basically useless on a 455hp NA V8 on the street. Unless your goal is to add weight. All show, no go. 275s are perfect.

My 275's in the back regularly lose grip on the streets and the traction control pulls power... I'm thinking of going to a 1LE (285 & 305) wheel & tire setup when it comes time for new tires...

I even get wheelspin with the 1LE 305s unless I use the PTM modes.

Nitto 555r2 niw come im any sizes in 20 inch. 275..285..295 and 305. My buddy with the new lt1 is looking at the 285s.I will see how they do....I may drop down from 305s to 285s.

Never knew that! I thought that was the perfect LT1/SS set-up. But, as the person above you said, adding weight is under consideration.

I have the same issue as well.


Can you imagine if the SS and ZL1 autos came with 4:10 gears?

Honestly, I would swap out the diff in my car, but the only solution is like 8k from TRE. But then I could run any gear I wanted... I could even throw a spool back there haha!
