[90'5.0 Conv]

Well the 4.10's are finally in and WOW, what a difference. Now remember this car was pretty darn slow. AOD convertible! If you read some of my other posts, you would've saw that about 3 weeks ago, I ran some 10.20's in the 1/8th. Well that was about my average and it was HOT outside. Well, this friday was no different, maybe even hotter. Overall, I would have to say I was real pleased with the results. I was hoping to knock off half a second or atleast close to it. Well heres my first run down the track.

R/T .863

1/8th MPH 72.92

I accidentally caught OD on that first run. Here was my best time of the night. Keep in mind that I only ran 4 times the entire night. I believe I can lose another 1/10th with a little more practice. Well here's the slip.

R/T .587

By the way, shift kit is really working well now. I can chirp 2nd and 3rd every time down the track! Here's one of my old slips for you to compare the difference. Remember, all I did was go from stock 2.73's to 4.10's. No other mods, tune up or anything. This by far was the best improvement for the money by IMO.

What do you guys think? Good improvement? Sorry the times took so long to get but if the whole swap went a little smoother, I would've done it earlier. Anyways, thanks for the opinions.
