Is this like "what do you honestly think" or is this like "Take a stab and let's see who is closest"? Cos I would have no idea but I'd LOVE to take a stab.

14.28

Unfortunately the rims were a mistake if you wanted to go quicker at the track. The 2" larger rim means more weight is further away from the center of the hub which means more power is needed to accelerate the wheel. The 19" rims/tires are also heavier and wider than the 17s which means they such out even more power. Big rims are a no-no for all out performance.

I'm guessing a 14.40-14.50.

Probably Dave's the closest w/a 14.50. You've achieved kinda of latteral arabesque in as much as any gains you might've made w/the intake and exhaust were negated by the wheels and their corresponding 'power to weight ratio' loss. JBX

The 19's are forged and are lighter than the 17's. I Say 14.43...

or around 14.5. get some SO3's, or other type of tires and you'll be able to go lower. lower the pressure in the tires too.
