ok i have a fuddle 3200 with a 2.2str and stock gears..im planning on gettin some 3.73 and my ss3600 installed here soon..

right now my car runs extremely good from a 20-25 roll (thats what all the locals like to go from, no one wants to go from a dig) and if doesnt spin form a dig..

i know im goin to probably have issues goin from a stop after the gears and stall but ill work on my susp.

but how well will this step up work from a roll? i herd on here awhile back that a lower str is better from a roll so im worried my fuddle will out perform my yank and gears from a roll.. sorry i know im dumb but i had to ask

 

25 is the perfect MPH for a stock 3.23 geared car with a stall. It will allow a 1st gear kickdown and you will haul. And you WILL spin the tires. Mine kicks sideways a bit.

 

mine car ran great from a roll with a 3000 stall and 3.23s and radials

 

right now i dead hook on the street from a dig and roll..

 

With no suspention? NICE thats what you want

 

Yank 3500 here with a 2.5 STR. From that slow of a roll, mine spins pretty bad. But once it hooks, it hauls ***. I don't think you need to worry too much about the low speeds. It's the higher speeds that are supposed to be less efficient although I certainly gained everywhere when I put mine in.

 

no i got dms springs , bmr lca`s and lca relocation brackets..

i herd the yanks where better up top than stock and the great fuddle.?

 

i put mine down into 1st with ss3600 and 3.73s at 20-25mph and the thing hauls! some how my car will usually dead hook?? good old bfgs Flash the converter from a stop and forget about it, spin the tires through third

 

yeah but you got me by about 100 rwhp loll if not more..118 yikes!

 

Have you considered the PT4000? It's a monster from a roll.....

 

how does the pt series compare to ss?? I'm thinking the ss is to street oriented for my car, a more aggressive converter would net me some better et's...

Yeah im pretty psyched with the 118mph I got a pretty big cam, she likes to spin to 7k

 

Don't downshift your transmission. Let it kickdown on its own. It will go down to 1st up to around 30mph.

Unless you're running some really good drag radials, you should be roasting the tires. If not your car isn't running like its supposed to. I can light up my 555R's pretty good with my SS3600 2.5 with a stock motor. Done any 1/4 or 60' tests?

 

not really went to the track once during the dead of summer and the local track sucks.. couldnt hook up the best i got was a 1.9 60ft and an 8.4@84 my car runs good for what it is.im running bfg 315 drags

heres a vid of me from a dig and a 25 roll lastweekend

and you gotta remember my stall is a 3200 with a 2.2str
which is not as hard hittin which is better for the launch and on the street
its weird my car dead hooks on the street and spins on the track but the track around here isnt known for having great prep

 

Maybe I need some BFG's then

I'd have to differ on both accounts, i've manually shifted my trans when racing its entire life (52k+ miles), and its never missed a beat. I think it's all about how you do it, timing etc. My car hooks great on street/strip with only drag radials, i'd have to say its running just fine though. I wouldnt call bfg's a really good tire not a 315/35/17 anyways

 

was the other guy even trying?
Nice kill!

 

yeah wow that is crazy i definitely can never hook up with full throttle from any roll if it kicks into first and from a dig not even 1/3 throttle before it breaks lose...maybe those tires really help alot over street tires

 

Do you think that traction would be an issue with the 3:46 rear? Car is a 05 GTO?

 

Forgot to add its wearing Nitto DR's 275 40 17's.

 

It's not going to be horrible, but from a dead stop you will spin some, but from a roll it should be fine.
