Re: Speeds at shift pointw
 

Alright, which gear gives you a higher top end, 4.10's or 3.45's? Realisticaly, not bench racing.

Steve
You can't pull 7500 in 6th gear? Bertha Must need a tune up...

Steve,

Lgaff and myself raced side by side one day at Byron. He ran about .3 faster than I did but we had trap speeds within .01mph of each other. Just one data point. He has 4.10s on his 92, I had 3.45s and we had nearly identical mods done to our motors.

Re: Speeds at shift pointw
 

Dom, I assume you trapped in 3rd, and Lee trapped in 4th? Still, which would have a faster top speed.

Re: Speeds at shift pointw
 

I know she needs a tune up Doug, but i think you're asking for a bit much. I wonder what kind of hp it would take to do that..I think somebody might have asked that question already.:-D

Re: Speeds at shift pointw
 

Steve, yes that's the way we came across. Lee's car was probably 2+mph faster than mine at the 1/8th. Something like 91 v 88. I thought you meant top end in the 1320.

Re: Speeds at shift pointw
 

Thanks, Paul, this is very useful information.

Re: Speeds at shift pointw
 

I would say 3.45

I don't think a stocker will pull in 6th with either 3.45 or 4.10 rear gears.

Pete,

If I recall even GM said the car would top out in 5th, not 6th.

Re: Speeds at shift pointw
 

March 2, 1990 fort stockton 24 hour record run...they said they ran in fifth gear on the 7.7 mile track at 190 mph on straights and corners sapped it down to 175 then back up again running at 5500 rpm stock rear end which would be 3.45 i belueve so the chart is off just a touch assuming same tire size.
