Just finished setting up a new ring and pinion for the car, swapping out the 4.56 for a 4.00. Also going to a 28" tall tire so it should drop my cruising rpm at 60 mph from 3900 to 3200 rpm's. Only my second gear setup, it gets easier each time!!
Oops, I forgot to say thanks to Dennis for supplying me with a used center chunk!! I think Dennis will agree when I say that it looks a little better now!! Thanks again!
how do you think thats gonna effect your final 1/8mile or 60ft? just wondering.. cuz i got a 3rd memeber with 4:11 in it and jsut wondering what will happen. btw i left another message with M/T i haven't forgotten.
Stephen, I was just thinking the other day that I needed to post an ad in the lost & found section about you. How is married life? Going well I hope. Seth
It will probably slow me down a little on the motor and then the car will probably pick up some on the spray since this gear will be easier on the tires and will decrease spinning.
Yeah, i've been real busy.....recently bought my first house ( I will post pictures as soon as I get my garage set up) and things have been busy at work. Married life is great and I wouldn't trade it for anything!!
Thats great to hear, at least you won't have to go through one or two to find a good one like some of us have I was thinkin even off the spray it probably wouldn't hurt your time if at all with the taller tire. But thinkin is a dangerous proposition for me
Hopefully you will say the same thing in 7 years. Good to hear from you. Are you going to Charlotte in April? I said I'd never go back-too crowded. Who knows. Seth
Looks good Stephen. Interesting to see the difference with the new gears and tires....I am guessing with the trans break it will not hurt the 60 ft time(might improve a little) and I am sure you will see nice gains on the big end.
I had not planned on it, I will be running in a local class this year and it will keep me plenty busy!! I'll be racing in the TCI Heads-Up Super Series at mooresville dragway this year.....
