    Go put a set of 22's on your truck, do a burnout, then put some 18's on your truck and burnout... your can feel the difference, i had 22's at one point, now im at 18's, and wanna go to 17's

    Yeah he didn't say you can't do a burnout with 22's he just said there is a difference in the ability. The increase in weight of the rotational mass makes the vehicle some what slower. Just by switching from 20+ inch rims to lighter 16 or 17's many have seen improved times at the track not just on the dyno. Even if I don't agree with some of what has been said the logic is correct smaller lighter wheels many times equals a quicker vehicle.

    Burnouts have never been a problem for me, I have pretty much full bolt-ons, CAI, vette servo, shift kit, eaton posi, 4:10's, full exhaust, nelson tune, upgraded wires.... etc, I was just saying it makes a big difference with smaller rims and tires

    i went from 20s to 16s on my truck and didnt feel a difference. but then again it was just a 4.8 so idk if that helps...

    I was looking into those 140mph clusters, I was wondering if they would be accurate or not. I had my needle burried so I went to the gps and was at 142mph with the rpms at 5600.
