TR224 and 4.30's ? Is 4.30's too much gear for a TR224/224 ?
I'm currently running 4.10 right now. With my stock cam in. I am going install my new cam next week, then the week after I am dropping a 12 bolt in. I am currently going to order my 12 with 4.10's, but I'm curious how 4.30's would run.
I currently work 8 miles from home, the only highway driving I do is when I head to the track about 60 miles away. I contemplated the TR230/224 with a 4.30's gear. But I want a little more daily street driving performance and engine life, so I've decided on the TR224 for now.
Would 4.30's be too much?
Thanks.

Re: TR224 and 4.30's ? I ran the TR224/224 114lsa cam with 4:30 gears and it was just about the perfect combo. I was running 11.50 @ 121 (1.71 60') last winter with stock heads. 26x10x15 ET Drags would be a great idea as well.

Re: TR224 and 4.30's ? LOL, give Jason time and he will have 4.88s or 5.14s. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
I ran 11.80 @ 116mph on a 1.58 60' with the TR224, stock heads, 4.10 gears, 26x10x15 ET Drags.
Justin ( likes his 4.10s <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> )

Re: TR224 and 4.30's ? I just installed Jason's old 4.30's over the weekend all I have to say is why get 4.10's if you can get 4.30's. I have a T1 cam but if I had a 224 cam I would have the 4.56's in mine <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
