Gears and drag radials are the quickest way to a lower ET without the engine wear of the laughing gas. If you're running an automatic transmission, a change of torque converters would help the lower 3.91 gear launch the car. The 3.91 gear will not let your stock converter flash into the torque curve as quick the stock gears.

Personally i would not do drag radials til last...Lighter wheels for racing yes, but not the tires as u will find you dont spin now and are unlikely to have a problem with traction with most mods with an Automatic. I just ran at the track saturday with a 100shot of nitrous and using street tires and 3.91 gears and still didnt have a traction problem. The Vredestein tires do a good job..Use the money towards something else

Well 3.55 is better than 3.45 I suppose. Doesn't shift the peak hp/tq numbers as much and is probably more of a compromise between the stock 3.27 (or less for 2LS peeps) and the better 3.91. Still have to do an SS or 1LE swap to get LSD/posi though correct? Gears are great but if only one wheel spins, you're still not doing a burnout. That's why I've been sitting on the edge of the water box to do mine now instead of rolling past it (yes nannies are off). |
