Assuming my redline is set to 7200 RPM, in 4th gear (1.32:1) with 3.55s and a 27" tire, I'll be turning around 123-124 MPH.

A 26" tire would basically give me 118-119 MPH at 7200 RPM redline

I think a 26" tire height is my best bet for the power level I will have my car at for a long while before boost. I should never trap more than 118-119 if I'm around 420-430 rwhp (after E85 conversion and maybe a TB). Right?
