On my ls1 I ran 8.5 @ 85 at best when I hooked good (usually averaged 8.6-8.8) and my car ran 13.0 in the 1/4. But that was on street tires and those cars have a ****load of top end power.

Just got the 4.10's installed and boy did I make a big mistake of going with Richmond gears... The gear whine is horrendous and it sounds like satan is living in my rear end.

My installer is a stand up guy and is giving me a set of Ford Racing 4.10's for free and installing them for $100... He felt bad for me because he said it's the worst whine he's every had from any gear period...

This guy is an awesome tech, but the gears just wouldn't line up. He tried everything and they just wouldn't line up. He spent the core of the time just trying to get these gears to line up but they are honestly garbage.

93 LX FiveO trust me and save yourself a lot of money and just pay the $50 more for the Ford Racing Gears you will not regret it like I did. The gear whine is unbearable and is not a constant whine as you would think. It starts off fine and then fades in and out and can overpower the drone of my flowmasters.

If you really want the richmond gears I will sell you mine and the install kit for $150.

I think I could easily pull a 1.8 60ft, i'm spraying a 100shot on my stock AOD (Doing my T5 swap within a month).

The track was pretty damp when I went down it and I couldn't even heat my tires up because the staging lanes were like little swimming pools lol. Not the smartest time to run the car but I drove an hour out there...

Anyways i'm dropping my car back off tomorrow to get my gears re-done for $100...
