Im thinking it would launch pretty easily and run a high trap. Also seems like a rather good highway setup. I realize 3.73's would be better, however im just not gonna put them in my daily interstate driven car yet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

You guys running good times with this combo out there?

Thanks! <img border="0" alt="[Camaro]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />

So I guess you already have the SY3500 and are just looking for how much you'll gain by going to 3.42 gears, right?

I think you'll pick up around 2 tenths and 1-2 mph. If you didn't have traction problems then, you will have them now, haha.

With 3.42s: You'll gain off the line, have more power at 45 - 70 mph and 100 - 130 mph, but give up a little in the 75 - 95 range.

The car will also feel tighter and a little more responsive at part throttle.

You don't have a clue what you want to do, do you? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

His current combo of a SY 3500 & 2.73s is pretty easy to launch hard on the street. If I were him, I'd set up the race to go from a dead start to about 85 - 90 mph. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

But i havent tried to launch the YTP4400 with the 3.42's yet because it isnt quite in yet! Im hoping i can pedal it and still launch pretty hard without ET streets. Im riding on the widest Nitto you can get as we speak, but i know im going to have to baby it out of the hole anyway. Even if i launch like a baby think ill be able to reel him in... hopefully <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
