Default Slightly better results

Went to the track 2-5-17 to try out my 3.73 gears. I was hoping for more of a gain from the gears since I have ran 6.76 with 3.08 gears. The car is leaving harder but it's seperating more now. I think I'll add some travel limiters and start tuning the strutts from there.
It was running consistent low 1.5 60s barely lifting the drivers wheel after I added an anti roll bar. Now it's lifting both wheels and ran a best 60 of 1.44 .

This is the best picture of the launch. I think if I can calm it down I may can get low 1.4 to high 1.3 60 on a good pass.

Looking good! I agree with your thoughts. Start to fine tune. She's working!

Thanks!
We got to looking over my time slips and comparing them to my previous best with the 3.08 gears and I gain in the 60 and 330 and fell off after that. Checked the runs out that I logged and found out I am losing time on the 2-3 shift even though we made some passes to dial the shift points in 3rd is still lazy. May be time to go through Transmission now. Thought I would gain more from the gears and I may once everything is ironed out.

Yea, that does sound a little odd. Are you happy with how it's going through the 1/4 trap according to rpm?

I haven't ran the 1/4 since the gear change. With the 3.08s it was changing to 3rd to close the the beams to take advantage of 3rd gear and I tried running it on out in 2nd in the 1/4 and it didn't like that either. The 2-3 shift could have been part of the problem on the 1/4 passes too .

Ahhh. Once you get it all ironed out it'll be cool to see what it does.

5.3 LOL, That would be doing something. You might as well think I am spraying because everyone else does.
