hey guys. i'm about to order my set- up for my car and have a question or two before i order. my current modifications are in my signature...
in addition to my current bolt-on mods, i will be running ZR1 wheels with 315/35/17 tires in the rear (NOT drag radials), Rear lower control arms/panhard rod, and a 100-125 shot of nitrous along w/ all the safety measures like ignition etc (don't want 150 shot b/c of the car's high mileage.)
do you all think that using 4.10 gears will be way too much as far as traction goes? since the car will wind out quick in 1st gear anyway, i don't plan to use nitrous until i hit 2nd gear to help with traction. my car is a '95 6speed with 3.42 gears, and stepping up to only a 3.73 doesn't seem worth the $$ since i'll be on motor most the time anyway.
i had a 150 shot on a basically stock car several years ago, and it spun pretty bad with the half bald stock tires that were on it. i just want the car useable at the drag strip on the juice and not just sitting there spinning.....thanks for the advice guys! BTW: sorry for posting this in the general LT1 tech as well, i figured it might be better suited for the 'N2O forum'.
