AZ, its the stock clutch
Yes you will have to shift to 4th gear but with 3.73s it will be a night and day difference. Don't go to 4.10s u will run out of gear unless you are forged. With my 4.10s when I went to the track I topped out a 111 mph in 4th gear bouncing off the rev limiter 3/4 way down the track.

Nice times.

"Dont go to 4.10s u will run out of gear unless you are forged."

??? you mean unless you have a bigger tire?

build the rear and put some 3.73's in there and you will be happy. Thats a nice mph, with some better 60's and gears 11's easy.

Looks like gears are in order, and I think I may just be a little too easy on the car off the line. I was trapping 113s last time. Thanks for the tips guys

A bigger tire would do this as well. But Jvog is forging his motor therefore he can spin new built motor to 7000 if he chooses and with 4.10s he will max out around 124 mph in 4th gear.
