Default ET estimate please.

I just installed 4.10 gears in my car. I ran a 12.3 before without gears and without 15x10/15x3.5 Prostars. Assuming all conditions are the same will these mods help me out at the track? If so, by how much? Will a cut-out help?


Thanks
Ever

Should be enough to get you into the 11's Ever.

From what other people have posted the results could be along the lines of .2-.4.

How do you like the gears? I have been thinking about doing them myself but not sure about the 10 bolt.

What's up man! The gears are great. I haven't been able to get on it yet though. Still breaking them in. The gears compliment the cam really well. I am hoping for .2 from the gears and .1 from the wheels/tire combo. Plus I am gutting the interior when I go to the track. I am hopefully going next Friday. I'll post the results later.

I think what you're expecting is very reasonable but I think you'll be quicker.

Let me know how Thunder Alley is hooking. Been thinking of going down and making a couple of passes myself.

Finally finished rebuilding my trans and have a 3rd gear again. Feels good, even got to smoke a Lightning on the way to work

I'll let you know how T/A hooks up. I hope I am able to hit an 11. I am going to install the cut-out after all since I already have it. I don't think it will hurt performance any. Or will it? Oh well, it should sound loud as hell! Woo Hoo!
