Sounds like it will be a stout setup when it's all done! How come only a 99 mph trap n/a? That seems very low for your mods no?

I've had good luck with 2.73 gears lol. We swapped from 3:73 gears to 2:73 in a car and it didn't slow down.

i apologize for my delay in response. i was running on some old tires, spun like hell through the first hundred feet, hit second and the *** end kicked out. i had 3.23's at the time, now im running 3.73's. but bad news, spun a rod bearing last weekend so im ordering the rest of the parts to finish building my new engine.

2001 z28 was a whole better car than the 98 trans ams were. Alot of other factors too, but that's the biggest.
