good gears for the rear end

Look up Doug Herbert Get a free Catalog.. look for the 8 point roll cage for the Mavericks/ Comets. But you have to weld them, but you can leave out some of the bars to make it a 6 point if you still want rear passengers.. It keeps shipping costs down.

wheel and tires are a personal taste issue. if your looking for performance then you want to get the lightest combination of wheel and tire you can find. a taller tire will effectively numaricly lower the gear raito and a shorter tire will numaricly raise the gear ratio. i run weld draglites with 275 60 15s on a 15x8 rim in the rear and 165 15s on 15x 3.5 rims on the front. if i was to get something for cruiseing and street use, i would get a 17 inch rim in the front and a 18 in the rear. i do like american racings tourque thrust II wheels. there are endless options for wheels and tires and all that maters is what you like.

 

I got my 6 point from JEG's....its been a few years ago.

 

the big thing to look out for when ordeing a cage is that the shiping will be expensive. ask about shiping costs from where ever you order it. i recomend find a local chassi fabricator to build and install the cage.
