correct gears for optimized performance i have a 1990 camaro that i've swapped a slightly modded ls1 in and i'd like a suggestion from guys who have optimized lightly modded cars. here's my mod list to date:
11:1 diamond pistons
212*/219* .558"/.563" 115+0 lsa
stock 241 heads
ls6 intake
SW longtube headers into a narly 4" single with a magnaflow
4l60e w/ Red Alto clutches and Kolene steels
PI Vig3600(both trans and converter are fresh and i won't consider anything without OD)
the car is a full bolt-on ls1 in a 3200lbs (with driver) car setup for street/strip. as has been my style for a while now, i want the car OPTIMIZED for the strip, and i'll just deal with any drivabililty issues. currently i have a 4.56 gear in a Moser 9" with a 28" tall drag radial.
give me some suggestions, as well as any stories/experiences. i know there are stock internal guys on this very message board that are into the 11's, i have a little more motor and i'd like to be in the mid 11's by the time it's all said and done and the tune is spot on.
