Default Power Loss???

Ok guys running 35's did guys you experience a big noticeable power loss? I'm considering going to 35's for my FX when I buy tires of coarse using the stock rims.

i dont have 35's but i do have a 5.4 and i would think the 5.4 would turn the 35's but on the other hand may want to consider a gear swap when going that big in tires im sure the pros will chime in!!

you will notice a power loss, if you tow alot often, regear if you go to 35's. my truck with 35's and edge tuner is close to what i had stock, but not quite.

You will lose a little bit of umph. But a tuner will help, especially if you get one that corrects the speedo for the bigger meats...I lost a little get up and go, but highway is fine and the mileage is about the same with my setup as it was stock, as long as I stay below 75mph...Just FYI
