Tire Size

right now i have 35" 12.5 18's and i'm thinkin about droppin to 33's. my current gear ratio is stock 3.73:1 with a 383 stroker... i'm wonderin if the 2 inch tire size will make up alot of power and if i will notice a large amout in size change..

you will only increase the engine rpm by about 145 rpm. That is provided that the two tires are actually two inches in diameter apart. This means it will accelerate a little better, but you are going to be disappointed. Should have gone with the gears bud. Those 4.56's are lookin better, and better every day.

for stock gears 33's are the way to go. 75k30 is right change the gears and you will be much happier
