Default Need Better 60 fts with 2.73's

I'm thinking that I need a minimum 3500. Right now I'm pulling 2.2 60fts and would like to see 1.7's or better. I'm looking to see what others like. It has to be fun to drive and not be to anoying on the street for normal driving.

yeah thanks but I have 2.73's
And I want to go with the stall first since it will give me better gains and then I will probably step up to 3.42's that my buddy is selling. So I just need stall advice right now.

I went 1.7 60's with 2.73's and a Vig 3600 and sticky tires on all stock suspension. The stall alone netted me .6 gain! Car was super easy to launch and great for highway driving. I've since gone to a 3.73 and after suspension upgrades have cracked 1.6 60's and gained .1-.2 by upgrading the gear.

That's why we opted for the "dummy pedal" upgrade!

with the right converter, there is no reason you cant run those small highway gears and still 60' in teh high 1.5 to low 1.6 easily. run a PT4000
