90'5.0 Conv · 08-26-2001, 07:45 PM

My 90 convertible GT is pretty heavy. I ran a 10.36 in the 1/8 which converts into a low 16 on the conversion chart. Considering I drive an auto, wouldn't I be able to make up some time in the 1/4. An auto with 2.73 gears doesn't exactly shoot off the line if you know what I mean. I just feel like I,m always chasing people down in the end, feel like I just need more track. What would be the ultimate gear ratio to run with this car. Only mods consist of gutted cats and flows and 14 degree timing setting.
