I likes my new gears!!

[Coupe50h]

moderator will probaly move this thread but 3.27 to 3.90's MY old best times in my sig.
new best after gears first and only pass, (track was crowded)

r/t .530

60 ft: 1.710 (with a soft 4500 rpm launch to be easy on clutch)

e.t: 12.703 @ 107.35

got it on video, looked like it carried the front wheel for a split second, the ss camaro with nos next to me got tree'd and broke about 30 feet out!
The playing in gear oil for days, and listening to my g/f complain was worth it!


now i want an eaton posi and 31 splines:)

[tommythrasher32]

I just want to do what you are doing, but with a C-4. My congratulations for your success. I think I'll have to have a 3000 stall convertor for my purposes. My latest project (a CC 224/230 @.050 and an Edelbrrock Air-Gap intake) have been driving me crazy with tuning issues. Huge bogs occurring 2000-3000 with every conceivable combo of accelerator pump, squirter, jets, and power valves .

I just hate a bog in the fuel curve, but I'm afraid it's due to the cam and intake that I'm using.

Well Hell, throw some 4.10's in there, and GIDDY UP! If a little's good, more is better!

Man i can't get that vid on the pc, but i can still send it to ya?:) via vhs.....heh

rev, my friend just snapped a t-5, and is going to a c4, he sprays a wet 125 shot, he ordered the c4 with a 3500 stall, im curious to see what it can 60', of course thats where good e.t.s come from is the 60'...:D

Btw, that vid is cool, cuz that ss f-bod had a roll cage, and was all purging next to me, i kept my cool, and he broke, you could see him launch, then see sparks coming from under his car, in the tranny area i think? clutch? who knows? he ran a 22 @ 59 mph..... it was a chevy lol..
later

It's about damn time you got some decent gears in that thing :D

Sounds like you are running right around the same that my old 302 P head/exploder intake combo, 12.7@107 with a similar 60ft. What tires are you using? There is probably another .1-.2 in ET in there with some suspension work, but a 12.7 sure ain't bad for a very basic mild combo like that.

btw, I like my new gears too, I went from 3.73's in the stock diff to 4.30s and a spool :)

:D whats been up fivepatrol!
I run a m/t drag 26x8.5, drive to the track on them too, :) i used to cut 1.81's on e.t. streets, and 3.27's.
I'll have it running 12.50's 108+ with some tuning, i just found a arching plug wire, and it needs a routine tuneup, also i consider my coupe kinda heavy, might rip out some weight and get it down to about 3,080 or so with me in it.

To anwer the 1/8 question, i believe I ran a 8.1@ 85 mph n/a of course:)......good day

fiveohpatrol, what would your opinion be on maybe me switching intakes to a holley sys? you think it would be worth the money? im looking for the most trap speed i can get out of these non-p heads:)

[fiveohpatrol]

I really don't think switching to a holley intake would help much, unless you had a much better cam in it.

Take some weight out of it, launch it at 6000 and shift it like there's no tomorrow :)
