Yea yea yea....blah blah blah
Bite I never got a true back to back after the 4.10 to 3.90 gear swap. The only real change was my drag wheels with dr's when I went back other than the gear. But still not a back to back. I can to you the back to back of the 3.42 to 4.10 was .1-.15 and 1mph. Same wheels /tires although a different but comparable day. Not as great a change as everyone thinks. I'm sure gear works good for your 4.6, you need to multiply all the tq you can.
As a side note. I still have all my inner bumbers, alot of fbody guys remove them, pm those guys if you have a problem with saftey. Doors bars are still there and the main chassis have never been cut on. Just bolt-on parts and a careful selection of how I do it and the parts I buy or make. I've had lots of guys pm me about what and how I've got the car that light. ...remember, if I were to wreck it there is also less weight to stop on impact or if someone were to hit me it's less weight to move. Bet you did'nt think of that angle.
Bayarea....your car would'nt run like it does w/o h/c. I don't know why anyone would blame my #'s on weight alone. If you want add 400lb back to my car in your head if it makes you feel better. We've all chose our mods here. Keep a open mind and live with it.

Well hio like I said there is a reason why all the fast h/c cars have alot of gear for the most part. Also i think you make more power then bayss. your car would not run the way it does without the h/c and compression bump.

Weight can very a little Corey. I can get the car as light as 3000, but it's really low on gas, has my bogarts on it, no front swaybar and no dd crap in it. About +30 for the for the 18's with the bar on it. Last time at the track I had 3/4 tank and dd crap in it. So about 3050 or 80 that day and went 11.1@ 130. I weight about 165 dressed. Those are car only weights. Scales are a local quarry that measures in 20# increments.
Auto I don't think Bayss car is as strong. Didn't he get outran by a pullied cobra in a recent vid?? I can handle those pretty good so far.

I think my 1/8 was 7.2@98. My 1/8 has been weird this year for trapps. Anywhere from 98-104. On the 104's I did spin pretty good in 2nd.
I don't remember the vid of you and the whippled cobra.....but good kill. Whippled ones are tough.

Because it's true full bolt-on. It's pretty normal for them to make 400 with headers , intake and a tune. Drivetrain on a fbody is probably more efficient also. Also has almost 80k on it now......running good and free.
