You n/a ford guys are the ones relying on gear. It's really not that big a deal in my world. When I switched from 3.42 to 4.10 I only picked up .1 and 1mph . When I went from 4.10 to 3.90 I can't give a accurate time (if I were to guess -.2et & +2mph) difference because I haven't ran it on the 18's since the gear change and now there has also been other changes. But I can assure you of this, my car would've never trapped 130 with the 4.10. It was on the limiter @ 122 with the 4.10. I don't think 3.73 would hurt it. I'm actually gonna use 3.73 with the ls7.

I guess the texa speed h/c car should go back to 3.42s since it is a tuning tool and only helps weak n/a modulars 130 lol yea ok It would probably go 10s in that light *** car with 4.10s

I don't know which car your talking about. But to go 130 on a 26" tire with 4.10 ain't gonna happen @ 6800rpm. Apparently they would've used a taller tire, which is all part of the tuning. I wasn't goin to change to a taller tire to get threw the 1/4 and then have my normal street set-up be off.

Idk about the t56 but a mach with a 26 and 4.10s is ~130 at 7k. We also know your 130 trap is skeptical. The car is the h/c record car. There is a reason all the faster h/c cars run alot of gear and it is not for street tunning purposes lol

is this the same trans am that Lilmiller raced before?

corysmach1

Yes? That race there is to 110 and as you can see i started running away....me and lilmiller went to 135. Also i had 18s on the car then and some oil in my pipes which was ******* with my maf....obviously she is whole new car now. And oh yeah lilmiller even helped me work on the maf issue. Lol

Your not leaving any room @130 with 4.10 @ 7k unless your relying on tire growth. The calculator I used was off 5mph(5 to fast), I found out by being on the limiter before the trapps hence forcing me to do a gear change. Mustangs and Camaro's should be 1 to 1 in forth so no change.

My car goin 130 could be skeptical. Definitely controversial. But it did 129-130.xx 9 times one day and 129 on another trip. But there is no denying that it always does over 126. Could've been good air or the other small changes coming together.

automach1

1.1 does not mean the ratios are the same lol

So your saying 1 to 1 ratio's are not the same??????

Bitemark46

The selection of the final drive gear is all dependent on the max operating rpm (not peak hp rpm). Higher reving engines regardless of hp, ALWAYS take advantage of steeper gears. Gears just multiply the torque in any gear. Its a win win situation.

But the tuning tool comment did make me chuckle. I've had a busy/crappy day at work. Thanks.

automach1

No saying 1-3 is not the same ratios. t56 26in tire 7k 4th 131 by the calculator not sure how it could be 5mph off.

automach1

Hell even twinscrew cars take advantage of gear and we know there is no lack of tq there.

good race, good kill!

AWDTBSS

gotcha just was curious

I realize the rpm thing, that's why I stated rpms, also that gear mutiplies tq. But gear is not as important on ls stuff. Or any engine that makes decent tq.
I know 1-3 is not the same. I was speaking 4th. All I know is the calculator said my car could go 127 with 4.10 @ 6800 and I hit the limiter @ 122 before the trapps. Seems to me the calculator is a bit off. Now I turn it 7000 with the 3.90 so it's not a problem, but it was getting close on the 130 runs.
