The final drive ratio is also affected by the growth of the slicks. TF/FC tires start out at 36" and grow to 44" through the lights...

(Somebody smarter than me will have to figure out THAT math....)

Fun Fact! TF/FC motors are pushing 10,000 horsepower these days, and it takes 1000 of those horsepower just to spin that great big supercharger.....

Amazing machines.
