Pros & Cons 63" vs 66"
I need some opinions on wheelbase. First of all I am at 63.5" I like this wheelbase due to the challenge and actually having to have skill to be fast at only 63". If I go to 66" will I have problems with traction and will I still run the same MPH due to aero? The 3" makes a big difference but I am not running prostar so length does'nt matter. Opinions please.

I'm 69" and never have traction problems. Even put a 150 lb rider on it and it still hooked with no problems. Its all about set-up and track prep really.

I don't know how many inches I am but I know I'm 8" longer than stock and the only complaints I've had is trying to get it turned around in my garage and in tight places! Other than that, no complaints. There is NO wheelying at the track, and I run 20 psi in a Full Bore tire with no problems.

I've hooked at 71" leaving on spray and it rarely spun. I'm heavy though. Like ninjaboy said, it's all in your suspension setup.
