just run from 40-100 your car will be a lot quicker than you think, but 5th will still be useless...

is that why all the fastest n/a 2v's are 5speeds with 4.10 or 4.30's?

not going to trap more than a 108? your kidding right? my car on stock 3.27's a prochamber and SLP mufflers welded in trapped a 103.. im pretty sure changing gears, getting tuned and bolting on more parts youll be trapping faster than 108. if your racing 1/8 miles yeah 4.10's or 4.30's. 1/4 mile a 4.10 will be to much if your n/a with bolt ons.

FIY....there is more to life than drag racing....don't assume everything is based off of 1/4 mile times.


I'm throwing 4.10's in my Mach when I get the cash to have some more kick in the pants for a DD.

I know of someone in DE if you aren't far from the border who will do it for a cheaper price. Last time he told me price it was a 1/3 of what you are paying.
