If you go with 31's you'll lose tons of power


Must be me... But on the 10 plus years of being on this forum I cant seeing that as the general consensus on going to 31's, or that as being the canned response.


I'm not saying its the general consensus, OR the canned response- just that there's always somebody saying it.

I never noticed more pep from spinning the engine slower. That assumes I'm shifting at speeds under 5400 RPM. PAst 6000 RPM I noticed the power drops off pretty quickly. If my 2.6 had more pep turning slower I would have the hood open trying to figure out what was wrong. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/oink.gif" alt="" />


I've never revved my engine past 5000rpm, and I didn't like spinning it that high really. My engine seems to be happiest between 3000 and 3300 rpm, but maybe its me thats happier at those speeds. Which brings up another question: how high can you rev a high mileage 2.6L and for how long? But thats another discussion.

I'm curious about your your take on stopping on the highway with the taller tires and the stock brakes on an 87.

Completely satisfied with it, but I don't do a lot of freeway driving.

1987 Raider, 346K miles and going strong -31" tires, otherwise stock.
