i finally have chosen the path of gears...lol i happy i drop it off tomarrow night and get the rear rebuilt new carbon fiber clutchs bearings seals and a set of 3.90s then thursday i should be getting my t-56 to drop the rpms down a bit. I wonder if i ran a 13.39 with stock gears and a old clutch and tranny anyone think i can get 12.99, with a new clutch light flywheel t-56 with close ratio gearing and a new posi with 3.90s?

 

Congrats on the 3.90's! I'm running them as well. They are a great gear for these little 2 valve mod motors.

 

I see a 13.40 in your future

 

lol your just saying that cuz you dont want me to chase down your car with street tires and mild bolt ons lol

correction, chase down your old car....dam shame that is

 

there's no doubt you have a strong running car but you'd have to drop a second and a half to catch me. BTW I was supposed to take it to the track today but it rained at the track. I'll make some passes probably next week, and post up a video.

 

you should have went 430 especially with a t56

 

3:90s and a 6 spd will be siiickk i want a 6spd soo bad..congrats dude

 

^^^Agreed with 4.30's with a t56.

 

ok bigger isnt always better, let me point out my reasoning for 3.90s. All the information i have says this. 6th gear and 3.90s keeps me pretty much where i am right now for engine rpm at 60. i daily drive this car so thats important to maintain fuel mileage and noise comfort. 2nd, the 6 speed vs the 5 speed gives me close ratio 1-4. What this means to me is that i get less gear separation which also mean that i dont drop from 6k to 3500 on the 1 2 shift or the 2 3. So from what ive gather thanks to that paladin thing. 3.90s and t-56 means ill drop right on peak torque every shift 1-4 6k shift drop right to 4100ish, and on top of that, the steeper first gear with the 3.90s gives me the same first gear ratio as i have now, meaning i can drive it pretty well outta the hole with a 2.0 60 on street tires same as i did with the previous tranny. So i know everyone wants steeper cuz its better blah blah blah, but unless i did math wrong this will work perfect for my current set up.

 

i thought you sold your car? what do you have now?
