Maybe you could give him a card with wheel pics in it and let him choose the wheels that he likes.

now that's an idea.......................

any other mods out there you call can think of......................

USMCrebel

gears is another option.

MGW shifter

sweetone

I already bought him the MGW short throw shifter with custom Mach 1 ****....... yah, he's a spoiled man............. what can you do gear wise?

USMCrebel

well, the emost common is the 4.10's /4.30's.

personally i would use the 4.10's, but if you want an even more grip and feel the 4.30's will make a pretty big diffrence.

sweetone

recommend a place to buy those? I know nothing about gears at all..............

USMCrebel

Mach1 4R70W ratios as follows
2.84
1.55
1.00
0.70 (OD)


Manual
.62 ratio, 80mph, at X.XX:1 rear gear ratio

3.55 = 2304 rpm
3.73 = 2421 rpm
4.10 = 2661 rpm
4.30 = 2791 rpm
4.56 = 2960 rpm

top speed w/ 3.55s, 5th gear @ 6798 rpm = 236 mph
top speed w/ 3.73s, 5th gear @ 6780 rpm = 224 mph
top speed w/ 4.10s, 5th gear @ 6787 rpm = 204 mph
top speed w/ 4.30s, 5th gear @ 6769 rpm = 194 mph
top speed w/ 4.56s, 5th gear @ 6771 rpm = 183 mph

i dont either so, i'll be posting other peopls stuff.
from what i'm reading if it's a daily driver its a toss up, most are picking the 4.30's. there is only a 100rpm diffrence in between the 4.10's and 4.30's. and the 4.30's are adding a pretty good snap to them.

summit has them

ok cool.............thanks for the info.........curious, what does the light weight driveshaft do for performance on the car?

USMCrebel

the normal driveshaft weighs like 14lbs i think, and the aluminum only weighs 7lbs. so the motor will have to do less work to turn the drive shaft leaving more HP and TQ available to go to the tires.

sweetone

makes sense, duh! I really do appreciate your effort and suggestions......... anything else you can think of let me know........
