Default made the 7's

first run off trailer ran 7.924 @87.70 mph. backed that up with a 7.952 @86.67 mph. there is alot of room for improvement. would changing rear gears get me to 7.60s or 7.70s? what will a 150 shot of nitrous do?

I would go to a 4L60! I bet you drop 4 tenths there alone with a 4000 converter

What is the weight of the car? A better converter and lower rear gear would drastically improve your times. 150 hit should put you in the 6s. If your going to spray it, you'll have to take it into affect if you swapped anything. Honestly slap a kit on there and let er eat. That tall rear gear and tight converter migh do something cool on a hit. Now of you were more concerned with NA, you could step up to a 4400/5000 stall and a 3.7-4.11 gear.

Swapping in a 4l60 would not help him. His TH350 is lighter and has less powertrain loss, and also has a much better ratio between 1st and 2nd gears (or it maybe 2nd to 3rd, can't remember right off). If anything, a 4l60 would slow him down.

Reaction time doesn't affect your ET. What tires are you on?

Congrats on getting into the 7s!
