When you go with forced induction, you don't need the steep gears! In fact, in that case, less is more. I ran a 125 shot of nitrous in my car, and it ran an 11.7 @121 with drag radials, and the stock 3.55 gears, on a really average 2.0 60'. Granted it wasn't an automatic, but I'm pretty sure the same laws of physics will apply.

you will run a prob around a realistic 13.0-13.1 ish with bolt-on's and regular tires, etc.

Default crap

I had 6 passes at the track the other day and couldnt hook up for crap. i launched and shifted every way i could think of. even if i feathered it and then hit it...i would burn thru 1st, 2nd and still break loose in 3rd. i dont have this issue on the street. I know my tires are crap.....245/45/17 fierce hp tires. (they were on it when i got it).....but 14.2 - 14.3 @ 105 mph. is garbage. and i got a few mods. BS!

Also, my friend had traction the whole way with his 2007 GT and 285 tires and he still ran a 14.2 @ like 95mph. How he running same time but like 10 mph slower

Probly shifts too early... I had the same problem when I went only I was running 13.6-13.8 @ 106 when I went, I think my Mach's got about a 13.1 in it now with the new clutch and better tires. I was running some almost bald DR's but I will recommend some Nitto NT555's when you replace those fierce P.O.S.'s lol. I can barely break loose in 1st with 285's out back on a 10" wheel.
