Default Cool LT1 video...
Since the last one was such a smash I figured I'd post up a new one.

Here's a ~15 to 115mph punch w/ 3.73 gears:

And the new one just taken tonight with 4.56 gears. It too was roughly a 15-110mph punch. Throttle stuck in the vid. Got to figure that one out...

The camera handy work is due to me not having any friends.

With the new gears, you've got to be on your toes man. Those gears come up pretty fast. Why 4:56 gears, anyway? Sounds pretty good.

4.56 gears are there because shift points are 7200rpm. Going to be running a 27" slick on a 15" wheel at the track. The shift light is still pilled at 6200rpm from a few setups ago and as you can see when at WOT it barely goes below 6000rpm which is exactly where I want it.

Nobody can say you don't have hand-eye-foot coordination. Did I spell that right? Car should rip with the new changes. Good luck at the track.

It's not a track car in the slightest. Still full weight with working A/C on ZR1 wheels with Nittos on the back. It's driven about twice a week. It's just that if I want to take it to the track I want to take full advantage of the power curve and steeper gears are a must.
Thanks for the feedback.

Oh yeah.. ALL HAIL 2.1337 VALVES!

What is your top speed with those gears? How is it on the highway?

When cruising the car never sees over 75mph. Most trips aren't very long unless going to the track.
This will let you know exactly what the gears vs. mph is like:

Looking forward to seeing your new track times Brian! I think those gears are exactly what your car needed.

What's there to figure out? There's no reason to lift anyways.
