I love my 3.42. I already went 11.0 with mine. There is an article in Car Craft about a shoebox in the low 10s with this set up. The turbo guys like 3:1. Plus you get less stress on the parts, so they last longer.

I run a 26" tire and a 3.42. My car crossed the stripe at 6100, but I'm pretty sure I could go faster with some more rpm. At the same time my shift extensions were less than ideal with my 3600 converter so I decided to change that rather than the gear.

Are you guys talking about my post? I'm spraying this motor till it blows. I will up the shot once I buy a dedicated cell. I'm not gonna be building a big motor but will deff be upping the shot. Best time to date is a 10.30@127 before I pucked the ol ls1. The setup is a little diff now Prc 5.3 2.5 heads ,fast 90/90,244/239 on a 115 lsa. Only things that changed is I gained cubes, weight, and had a ttp cam 234/244 112. Race weight is 3550 with me in it.
