Default 2009 gt vs BMW 335i

First race in my car today and I'm so happy for this win.
I was going down the highway today and a Beamer did a fly by. I caught up to him and we did a roll from 40-110. And I beat him! With my new 4.30 gears I walked him all the way up to 110 when I let off. I probably had four lengths on him.
Feels great to finally race somebody with all my new mods and I can already tell I'm going to be addicted at trying to race everyone

Nice kill! The BMW 335i are pretty fast cars.

Hell yea, that is a good run! I had 4.10s in my 3v and wished the whole time I had've gone with 4.30s instead. Nice work man!

Yes they are!
I had just gotten 4.30s installed and this was the first real time I had gotten on it because I did some heat cycles previous to today and I was taking it easy so I didn't get gear whine. Gears are by far the best mod I have done to my car so far...it is always in the torque now. Without them I would have probably lost

I was woried they would be too steep since that is what everyone says but they are perfect. Don't fear the gear! is what I was told. These gears have also helped me with my shifting skills because now i REALLY have to grab some gears and I love it!

Nice kill man. My buddy had one, i ran him when i had bolt ons (before the 4.10s) on my 3v and beat him all day long. Then he tuned it and ran 107 octane, and that thing woke up. He traded it for an evo before i did any real work to my car though.

I could imagine it woke up! I ran 110 octane aviation fuel in my 72 dart and that gas completely changed the car! It hauled as$

Get some cams next. Gears and cams on the 3Vs are a good combo.

I honestly am not sure if I already have cams!
When I sit at idle the car will rock side to side pretty dramatically. It might be because of the side exhaust putting the pressure out the sides or it might be because I have cams!
I will be getting a dyno come springtime and the guys at jpc should be able to tell.
