A large single 5"+ works just fine on smaller cubic inch. Take a look at European prostock tractors. There will be two European prostocks at gordyville this year but they are at 510ci. The valtras that run 444ci run 5" plus chargers.
The total weight isn’t as big of an issue. The issue is how far away from the rear tires the front tires are and if you can’t hang enough weight out there the front end will float more and chatter. You break parts every time a frontend chatters on a SSD with bar tires. With gassers the wheel base is much shorter and float is less on the front end with less weight out there.
