Pete, great runs. Your launch is the best I've seen. Burnouts are awesome too. Love the sound of your cams.

Thanks Dennis.
If i wanna get better 60ft & ET i will have to go with bigger gears.
Winter project

Rob,i'm pushing 3rd gear all the way to the end too close to the end to upshift.
I have my rev limit set to 7700,shift light 7200.
Shift light is glaring ON just before the traps.
My RPM gage is incorrect but i figure i'm going thru at 7400-7500.

Maybe some light wieght front runners for 130+MPH

My math shows 129mph at 7500rpms with 3.45's and 25.7in tires - I'd say thats just about perfect for the quarter mile assuming your powerband looks a lot like mine. If you're gonna try gears I'd go with at least 4.10's otherwise you'll end the quarter part way through 4th and the extra gearing may not compensate for the time it takes for the extra shift. Your results are making me seriously think about doing a cam swap - stop it already

Pete,
Can you tell us some more about the new cams you're now running?

I was running 26.2" tall tire.
Bob,yes your right 4.10 is perfect for 1/4.

My peak comes in just shy of 6800 474rwhp, 5200 400rwtq

The cams are worth 20 RWHP.

Cam specs
.236 .425 In
.220 .425 Ex
Some cam sound at idle,drives like a stocker,throttle response furgataboutit.

pete, talked with my suspension guy he seems to think that you can use 4.10 gear if you go to a 27in tall tire if you stay with the tire you have now your wheel speed ie tq multiplication will blow the tires off ruining your 60fts . i shared your dyno results with him . he also thinks that you might find that shifting at 7200 would help. the reason he thought3.92 would work is the fact that you are using the 315-335x35x 17 tire. he was worring about your wheel speed off the line . just food for thought
