Have some of you guys out there experimented with taller than standard tire sizes in order to get a lower effective ratio when using a V8 conversion ???

29" dia. tires would yield awesome 0-60 times in a V8 application, using 2nd as 1st, while keeping just under 6k. My tires are like balloons at 195/70-15, 25.75" dia, and hit the front valence edge when I lift the front, but my speedo's pretty accurate, which I like, and the gearing's good for highway cruising.
