3.73's helped my MPH out.. and some ET :)

Posted this in LT1 tech too.. figured I'd post in here as well for the usuals...

As usual, full weight car, about 3515 with me in it. Launched from about 1500 rpm.. launching at 1900 on my 2nd pass ended up breaking loose a bit, think I would need more tire to handle it. These are on Nitto DR's at 16psi cold.

1.733 12.49 @ 109.29 MPH

Up from my previous best of 1.767 12.53 @ 107.4... with 3.23's.

This was in about 68* weather and 95% humidity. It had rained all day and had just cleared up for a few hours. The track was jetdried and prep'd, got rained out after two passes, but a new best is all good to me.

Shooting for some 12.3's @ 110 in some better weather. Car pulls much harder through the traps since it's in the powerband.. much happier with it.

I gained 3 tenths going from 323 to 373's but you must get 100% traction to see similar results.

wow impressive.... im switching from 2.73s to 3.73s... what should i expect? :bow: :cool:

I dunno exactly but it should be more than 3 tenths.

Good times there.

Since we are on the subject of swappin gears in here. What do yall think I'd be able to pick up if I swapped out the 3.42's for some 3.73's. I don't think traction will be a prob..........so says Mickey:D

I dunno. Maybe 1 or 2 tenths.
