Gear change or convertor change or both??
Gear change or convertor change or both?? Well, I made some serious changes over the winter. The old supercharged 427 is gone. I have gone with a N/A 402 that I plan on having in till the "end".. My goal is a good daily driver. I am comfortable I can run 11.0 (7.1 in te 1/8th) or very close to it with this motor and my current setup. (3.42 gears and a SY3500 convertor.)
Since the change was made for reliability, I do not want to make the car a PITA to drive.. My local track is an 1/8th mile track btw.
What would be the consensus to drop my ETs knowing I have to drive hilly areas. Real high convertors will burn out a tranny in no time I think..
How are 4.10 gears in a daily driver?
Any ideas w/b appreciated.. Please remember it's a driver...
Thanks in advance..

You could go with 3.73 gears. I wouldn't do 4.10s in a daily driven automatic car, nor would I put in a high stall if you have a lot of hills. I think your setup is pretty good already.
