you only gained like 2 mph on your eigth mile compared to what i do, so your 3-4 is what's killing you man.
3-4 shift is past eigth mile. What's killing me is my damn spinning street tires. The 2.06 is the best 60' I could do that day, my best with 3.55s is a 1.98.
I'm not saying 6K is the best spot for every gear. This was my 1st trip to the track w/ 4.10s so just experimenting really. With a steeper gear the requirement of power to turn it decreases...a good reason why dyno pulls are done in 4th gear instead of 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Shifted into 4th @ 6K was just past 1/8 mi.
Thanks...these 4.10s don't feels too bad on the highway, almost feel like stock, I understand what people meant when they say they should've gone with 4.30s. I haven't gotten on it yet, but I can't wait.
Today in the morning, on my way home, I took the car up to 80mph to see at what RPM it would be at and it seems to be at around 2300rpm, I have 18in wheels, does this sound right?
is it the third gear synchro gone ? im in 3rd going into the 8th and when my 3rd went out i lost...a lot
My 3rd AND 4th synchros are gone. Still waiting on a trans job. Didn't know that would hurt performance. Figured if it's in gear the power will push it.

I agree on both points...feels like the car should've came with them in the first place and 4.30s being a typical mod. The exhaust note is sweeter too, my LM1s sound a bit nastier at cruising. 4.30s may be a tenth better at the track with sticky tires, but I think 4.10s are the better gear for daily drivers. To each his own, ofcourse.
