Another bro bites the dust 😎
 

Killing the bros.

Nice kill. Dood needs some long tubes to square his mods up.

Nice kill.

He did all that upper work and left the exhaust stock. Idiot. Lol

So practically 10 sec. Mustang with those mods...damn
And you walked him.

Im sure its only going to get harder to find runs with bros if you keep putting in work on em lol.

Good kill.

Good pull LDub!

Why is the time blurry looking and the 1/8 mile looks like it was penciled in?

well.....i would assume for how all the 5br0s talk that one 9s capable.

Yall see that 5th gear wall?

Funny what a little porting and a proper tune will do. Best part is pump gas. LOL. Good work bro.

Fif gear ain't got nuffin on you man!

Build the 5th gear Wall!

and make the Mustangs pay for it

:jest:

For sure gear would help....been saying that a while. Not only would it multiply the tq but it woukd hit 5th at a slower speed and reduce the rpm split a little.

The damn things have 2.73s in them. Even tho the trans is geared well that's still to tall.

Yea but the problem is first gear becomes too steep...it's already really steep with 2.77's and a 4.56 1st gear. 3.27 and a 28" tire would be ok for a bolt-on car. Once you start making a lot more power, it's never going to hook. That is why a lot of the big power cars with A8's launch from 2nd even with stock 2.77's and a 28. The gear ratio splits in the trans really need reworked. Maybe somebody will release a different gear set for the A8 some day.

Sure at some point the gear multiplication and shift times just aren't as useful with big power....but with bolt ons and a stock converter i think the gear could be useful.

Some of the 5br0s are running 3.55 with the a10.

If you have to shift to sixth....how's that wall?

We talking roll racing or drag racing? I run a 3.27 in my car and Tony Moffre's car and we are 1 and 2 for H/C set ups. I have both cars cutting 1.37 60ft using 1st. Jim Duffy also uses the 3.27 in his bolt on car and has gone 1.39 60ft. I am dropping 3.27's in three bolt on cars right now so we shall see. I am thinking the 3.27 on the stock converter will take the record soon. We just need that unicorn day in unicorn air.

A 3.27 can work just fine in a high hp car. Once I start spraying mine I will leave in second. You just need a 28" tire. For any N/A car from a dig there is no better gear, hands down.

If we are talking roll racing I have a complete different plan. Getting into 6th at a certain point with a certain gear isn't bad. 6th is the 1:1 gear and puts down 22rw more power on average than 5th does. I don't think I would use the 3.27 for roll racing. There is a better choice.

If someone wants to do the quick math you can try 1.29×2.77 and see if that is more or less than 3.27. I think it comes out to 3.55.

3.73 on a 28" tire will be a monster from 30-150 or 50-150.

You can junk yard in t out of a M6 car. You need the entire center section.

3.73 be good in the qtr to unless it makes 1st to short. Depends on how fast that trans can react. With the gear splits getting smaller as it goes up through the gears it would just flat pull and pull. I wouldn't even be scared of running a 26 but no doubt a 28 be better for running to 150. 26 be fine for 140 which is typically plenty fast.

3.73 works at the strip on a 26 if you leave in 2nd. Other than that it leaves you hanging with an extra shift before the line on a taller. We have been through all of this with a couple cars I am involved with. 3.27 went much faster in that car. I have another one with a 3.73 gear and converter and is slower than my stock gear and converter cars.

Yea there would be no use in a converter with a 3.73 and that trans. I think once they get over 130 is when the 3.73 would shine. 135 @ 6500 in 6th with said combo. I think that is doable with bolt ons on a all out combo.

might be splitting hairs to get there tho.

If you have to leave in second then the gearing isn't optimal. I would agree 3.27 on a 28 is the best all around combo for the A8.

Leaving in 2nd can optimize the A8 with the correct rear gear and tire height. With 2nd being 2.97 it is deeper than 3 speeds and almost as deep as the 700R4 or 4L60.

It's really gonna depend on how fast the trans can act along with whatever tm is left hiding in it imo. Maybe it can't get there because of that idk. For sure there comes a point where using more gearing isn't as beneficial.
