So if you are running 28 in tall tire, you need to multiply Mike's results by 28/26=1.077
Something else to think about is being able to drive your car into a trailer. For my old car 427 FE, cam with lots of over lap, 3.31, CR, aluminum flywheel, and a 28 in tire, it is very difficult to load into the trailer, with out smoking the clutch. So I drive fairly fast into the trailer. I really should use a winch.
My other car, 302 healthy cam, alum flywheel, CR TKO 600, 3.54, 26.6 in tire is easy to drive into the trailer.

Tom,
if you don't mind me asking, what have you determined is the advantage of an ultra light weight aluminum flywheel vs. say a 32lb stainless on a warmed up FE?
