yes, just K.I.S.S.
Not many peopleuse K.I.S.S( Keep It Simple Stupid),I agree with Ghost dont push the limit unless your not worried about rebuilding fairly soon.

thanks for all your help guys. i will leave her be until im ready to build. about 6 months ago, i dynoed my car with the 100 shot. recently, i switched to the 125 shot, and pulled a degree of timing.im not sure if i should dyno it again, or if it would be a waste of money being such a small step? btw, im still running my stock pump.

i was wondering the same thing, but i wont use N2O. Im prepping for S/C and while all you guys are in here, i see some have 3.73,3.90,4.10. I'm was thinking of 3.73's, im going with a procharger, the car is an auto for now whill be switching to a 5 or 6 speed full built down the road. I make a few track passes, and lots of highway. which gear would keep me under 3K rpms on the highway at 80mph. gas mileage doesnt matter. shooting for 400 hp
Thanks
Bob

at 85MPH with 3.90 in a T3650 youll be at 2900 RPMs. If you do a lot of high speed racing, then i would go with the 3.73, it does not stop at 110MPH like 4.10's do, you get to go another 11MPH! before you redline in 4th...

ya i was thinking also if i did 4.10's with a T-56 i can make the 6th gear a rediculous O/D for the highway

you better be getting the viper geared t-56 if anything. That one has the 6th gear of .50 thats the only way its feasable. The t-56 out of the 03 cobra has just about the same 6th gear as the t3650 5th gear, there is no point that a way.
