What gears you got?
Why am I concerned with trap speed... well, trap speed is a direct result of HP. I'm more worried about this because on the street, ET doesn't mean a hole heck of a lot, but the amount of power you have does. Its not that hard to bolt on some slicks at the track and drop ET but its a lot harder to gain MPH. On the street where traction is almost always hard to find, HP and torque win the race, and since my car is a convertible and I do not have a 6 point cage, my track days are probably limited in number, especially since my track is now under new ownership and is switching from NHRA to IHRA. So, basically I want a fast street car and trap speed (and therefore HP) is what I seek most. I hope this helps explain my reasoning...


BTW- I have 4.10 gears.
