LX 5.0

Just check what my car has for gears. I got 225/60/15 tires. My mod's are listed below. What should I expect for a time when I run it at the track??

Low to mid 15's? Just a guess.

15.8 to 16.5@86mph..... Really depends on air quality index, starting line prep, & how quickly you learn to launch without excessive wheel spin. But.... That rear gear is gonna kill your times there buddy....

Learning how to drive at the track also makes a world of differance. Im running high 14's right now on the same exact setup I started with. My first go at the track I ran a 15.5. I've taken over half a second off my time by just practicing.

Yeah. Pratice makes master right.. Well I just wanted a ballpark eta. Thanks. Sooner or later I am going rip those dam gears out of there. I'm very certain I will get 3:73's!

i actually like 2:73 gears, if its stick you will be trapping at about 5000-5500 in third gear, so actually runs quite good. 3:73s you are 4500 in fourth. the actual gain from gears is more of seat to the pants gain, than a timeslip (i am not saying they dont help! just dont expect these giant gains)

how much faster will gears lower your 60ft times?

LX 5.0

Yeah it's a stick. that's quite the difference at the end of the quarter mile. with the mod's I have what will be my approximat top speed with 3:73's vs 2:73??

Prolly trap at about 95-96 with the 3.73s and around 89-90 with the 2.73s. Makes a big difference. I went from a 15.3 to a 13.8 with gears and radials and other mods in my sig.
