Best Tire/ Gearing Combo For 130Mph Traps

[black bnr32]

hey guys,

I'm hoping to find a good tire and diff combo for 130+mph trap speeds in a r32 gtr with a standard transmission. I plan to rev to 8500rpm and hopefully make peak power at 8000rpm. with a 255/50/16 (26" tall) mickey thompson et street radial, i calculate123mph @ 8500rpm in 3rd, or 130 @ 6900 in 4th.

so....

Strategy A:

-stock gears (4.111)

-taller tire (295/50/16)

this gives me 131mph @8500rpm in 3rd

Strategy B:

-gts-4 gears (4.375)

-shorter tire (275/50/15)

this gives me 130mph at 7400rpm in 4th, or 141 at 8000.

do 15s fit over stock rear brakes?

Stock GTR wheels, 255/50/16in drag radials, shift into fourth. Changing diff gears and tyres just to optimise a street car for a particular rpm through the traps is silly. Leave it as is and give it death.
