3.45 will net me 100 more RPM at 60 with slicks than a 3.23 with 275/40

 

jw, cause i want to mount my turbo in the exact spot as yours, did you have to move the center section or anything?

 

Any Suggestions on rings for these? Do they come with new pins?

 

With a turbo car you don't need a lot of gear. Hell with a n/a car and good converter you don't need a lot of gear. If my rear end would hold up, I think I can go mid/low 1.4x 60fts on these 3.23 gears and 26" tires. First try launching it(no 2 step or ebrake) and leaving IN VACUUM, I went 1.59 60ft bogging.(meaning I can leave in boost and not bog) Last year with 3.42's and a 28" tire it would go 1.56-1.58 60ft's leaving without the 2 step.

FYI, on the 2 step I can build 7lbs of boost instead of leaving in vacuum or at 1lb of boost at most, BIG difference.

 

must get 2 step!

 

lookin good man

 

if you dont mind me asking, where is your 2 step set at ? thats a pretty good improvement in 60' and prolly a hella improvement in et

 

Two step is set at 3300 right now, I haven't launched with the 2 step at the track though. Car goes 1.5's without the 2 step and last year went 1.5's without the 2 step and that was even on a narrow et street.

 

Hey c0rey do you seem to have any valve train noise with that 224/236 cam. I have a supercharger lt1 with that same cam and it seems to make a pretty good racket.
Thanks,

Ya the valve train was pretty noisy
