It has better shift extension and he's done it. You said you're only willing to spin 7000 though, but with a 3.54 and 28" tire you can go 165...with a 2.97 first and 3.54 rear you will have better SLR(starting line ratio) or overall gearing than 3.90 and 2.66

every aspect of the car has to have the right parts and set up correctly. and you have to be able to drive it. what does the car weigh? what suspension? will need some gear in it. 160 is a tall task. how fast have you been previously, et/mph? your gonna wanna leave on the nitrous for the tq so you can leave at a lower rpm and not smack the tires so hard. i would leave around 4500-5000 on nitrous and 60' 1.29-1.35 but on motor it wouldnt 60 for **** bc id have to leave around 6000-6500 to get it to not bog and then it would smack the tire with to much wheel speed. but i never really made more than a handful of n/a passes.

So what everyone is basically saying is with my 3.54 gears.. the 2.of trans gearset is best with the 28" tire and spray out of the hole.. unless I change rear gears to 3.73 or so and leave the 2.66 gear ratio.. With 28 tire and spray out of the hole.. Both will net me close to my 160 1/4 mile goal

Can u pm me what ur setup is.. shocks.. rear gear.. clutch.. line lock. Just everythjng. Bc in ur videos u hook really well.. ur setup is badass.. give me some pointers and or other parts that would help me.. iL have the built trans.. twin clutch( don't know which one yet) have qa1 in the rear and strange adjustable in the front. Gping have 200 through a plate.. I have a line lock.. iL have the Lnc 2000 hooked up.. I have bottle heater.. purge.. pressure guage.. iL have to switch from the 26" tires to 28..

The steeper gearing whether trans or rearend will help match engine rpm to wheel speed faster and allow you to launch lower from more torque multiplication meaning you shock the tires less as Ray mentioned. The 28" with more sidewall and better rollout will help lessen shock and help hook better at the power you're talking about making on spray, if you have any questions about a clutch don't hesitate.

So what gearing would u suggest with the 28" tire? If I stayed with 3.54??
Would it be better to stay at 3.54 and use a 2.97 trans gear? Or change gears to let's say 3.73 and use the stronger 2.66 gear?
And on a clutch.. iv talked to Steve about the lt1-so version.. just want ur thots as well bc I do need a twin clutch.. I just don't know the difference in monster.. mcleod.. spec..
I just want somthing that will hold.. not chatter.. shift good at any rpm.. Won't blow my engine up is my biggest worry.. and idk if yal use carbon/carbon setups.. Idk much about the different brands

It will have longer life than both as it's the only twin disc on the market that can compensate for wear and has a built in pedal stop as well as T-rivets on floater to assist in high rpm release. Pedal effort will offer more feedback than the super light v6 pressure plate used in the RXT, but not be as hard to modulate as the Spec twin. All 3 use similar ceramic frictions and strapped floater plates, hope that helps.

Sounds interesting.. very very good information.. so.. if I kept the stronger 2.66 headset.. would 3.73in the rear be enough? Really don't want 4.10s...been there done that with a auto.. useless... but they don't make anything between a 3.73 and 4.10 for a strange Dana s60. Unless I have been misinformed

Conventional wisdom is that a 10-1 total ratio is best.
My 4.11 in my 67 Camaro did much better with the Super T-10 with a 2.64 first than the 2.20 stock muncie in it. I could lift the left front tire on launch and had faster trap times.
I too would like to know what OP went with finally.

I will be that guy and revive an old thread as im about to swap back to a 6spd after going automatic for 3years.
I've driven my car with stock 6spd for a long time and always wished I had a lower 1st ratio as I tore clutches up to often. I'm now looking at a magnum trans and have a lot more motor than I did then.
With a 6spd ,I should be close to 600 rwhp all motor.
4.10 rear gear and which ever tire works best at the track. I have a 275x60 pro now and probably stick with that since its softer and more side wall than a 26" but still stable on big end.
If I go 2.66 first gear I'd probably need to stay 26" tires. I really dont want to leave up at 6500 like I use to but if clutch can take it I'd probably end up doing that anyway ��.
Dart 427 solid roller shifting at 7800 ,4.10 gears in rear end, which first would be best?
