427 RWHP... what will it be after converter and gears? I have dyno'd at 427 and am adding a TCS 3500 and 3:73 gears...how will this effect my numbers ? I assume they will drop, but how much?
I'm replacing the stock converter and 3:23's.

Re: 427 RWHP... what will it be after converter and gears? You may lose a little due to the tourque converter it depends on how effecient the converter is. The gears will not change HP. I would guess around 10-12 HP. You will still see a drop in your ET because of the converter.

Re: 427 RWHP... what will it be after converter and gears? The converter is 98 percent efficient if that means anything... Thats a serious drop, but as of now , even with the 427 at the wheels I have terribel low-mid 12 et's. I'm hoping for 11.7 with good rubber.

Re: 427 RWHP... what will it be after converter and gears? Well I would say as long and you put a slick on it you should run low 11s easy. With drag radials probably a mid 11 is do able. Or you can do the street tire with a 13 second quarter mile burnout.

Re: 427 RWHP... what will it be after converter and gears? Usually, going from a stock converter/stock gears to your 3,500 and 3.73's expect to see a loss of 18-22 RWH open, lock the 3,500 converter down and you will only show a loss of about 4-6 RWH.

Re: 427 RWHP... what will it be after converter and gears? You will definately need more than Nittos. You will need at least ET Streets. The paint on the side of them will come right off. Rub a little brake fuild on them with a rag. Then you can shine them up. It will look good and better yet you will hook up..

Re: 427 RWHP... what will it be after converter and gears? Last question...I also made a general post...Are there 17" ET Streets? How wide can I put on a 9 inch (or some say 9.5) rim?
And thanks Joe, again, for the experienced based info.

Re: 427 RWHP... what will it be after converter and gears? The 17" slicks have not been sent out to anyone. They haven't technically released I don't believe.
But they are working on it.
