    Well you like the current acceleration & you would like a taller tyre to better fill the guards.

    Its not looking so good for you.

    Personally, I would go to the taller tyres as I think stance is real important, and you already have a stroker engine, so a small loss of acceleration wont hurt toooo much.

    You can always change the rear gears if the new setup takes all the fun out of driving.

    From 25.5 to 28. I like the way guys word things from the states. No offense fellas but you dont realize that where I live those tires are about 700 bucks a set and a richmond gear set about 450 bucks. When a fella makes a decision here he likes to make the right one
