700hp is only 525 ft-lb... 285 is way way more than big enough (especially if we're talking 1/4 mile, and street radials ).. even non r-comp, pilot super sports or RE002's @ 285 are PLENTY.

like i said, N54's have made >>>600ft-lb on 265's and have no troubles. (again, remembering that torque is the issue, not horsepower... no matter what gear, or anything else the highest torque point is the highest instantaneous engine acceleration)
