Going from 3.23s to 3.73s sent me from 110/111mph to 114 mph. Then I did milled heads, tiny cam, and a 2800 stall along with going back to a 3.42. Now I only trap 115-116. Car feels like it drops too far out of the RPM going from 2nd to 3rd and isn't at an optimal RPM crossing the line. So yea, the key is to match your gear to your combo and cross as close to peak power as possible.
Any plans to upgrade in the future?
Bet it is a really nice street car

Good kill Stoppy! Those Mach1's have always looked real nice, even better next to a 3v.
I do and run 11's at 120+. I'll tell ya it's real tricky to get 1.8 60's with stock C5 gearing on a street tire too. But the challenge is as fun as a handful of tricks.

.A ls1 will make more tq than hp too. Notches car made 340whp and 360wtq.....no where near full bolt-ons either.

None of mine ever had. My GTO did break even at 350/350 (STD), but my current ride is making slightly more HP than TQ. Was actually a lot more HP with the stock verter, like 360 RWTQ to 385 RWHP (SAE) through the stock cat-back.

Thank you sir. Even though I couldn't show everything it had, with very careful driving it can still shine, somewhat. Outrunning a Lamborgini Murcielago by exactly half a second surely put a shiny smirk on my grill
