Default 2800 vs 3600 stall upgrade

well i am trading in my 2800 1.9 stall for a 3600 2.53 stall.

I have ran a 11.706 @ 117.22 with a 1.70 60'

mods are full bolt ons, 3.73 12 bolt. 3350 race weight, tubular suspension and 245/50-16 nitto 555r tires. tr224 cam and ls6 heads

assuming i get good traction what kind of gains may i see with the stall change?

I will be going to the track soon in a few weeks to get the results anyway but i just want something to shoot for.

My guess is a 11.49 @116 with a 1.60 60'

make a guess and if you get it right i will ups you a snickers bar.

From my experience, that stall should pick up well. LS1's power band is shifted forward on a graph. I guess the big issue is what brand stall. Some are better then others.

Provided it is a good stall....I would think you would gain .02 in et.......and around 1 mph.

Just a ballpark figure, but I think it is possible!

My guess is more than 2 hundredths! lol

If you don't light those Nittos up I am going to guess a little over a tenth. I would throw a set of ET Drags on there to help maximize your gain especially with that 60'.

I say you are going to break'em loose every time.. That 3600, 2.5 STR is going to hit harder then those little 245's can handle.

Agreed 100%!

That's why I suggested the ET Drags...

If you were going to run a MT DR, you might have a chance. But a nitto, nope.

Thats exactly what a guy in an 04 cobra told me. He had the mickeys and i had the nittos.

My. 11.8 @117 1.70 60'

His 12.20 @119 2.00 60'

I recommended nittos to him after wards .LOL.

I know the mickeys will to better on my car but i still have the nittos and plan on burning them up before the mickeys are purchased.

I just got the 3600 in tonight BTW and the nittos aren't doing to bad. Hopefully i will have some new times in a few weeks with the nittos being pushed to their limit.

My best 60' on the 245nittos were 1.67. Ill be lucky to pull a 1.60-1.65

You should drop a tenth or two, depending on if you hook...

Nice... Still hard to believe its a nitto, and a 245 at that. I guess you had the right recipe to make it stick. What did you end up running??

I have been running the same stall for years. Belive it or not its a 4000 stall from Fuddle.. That 11.66 run was a month after I put together my H/C, I think it was 116mph.
