And Holly**** does it shift good.
I drove it home today and just had to get on it.
I have a 97 Z28, just a few boltons.
Any way I have 3:42's and 275/40/zr18 and from a 20-25 mph roll the car just spins the whole way through 2nd.

I guess what i am asking is this good? and would i def. need slicks when i go to the track?

Keep in mind my tires were not hot.

before the E W/P and TB bypass, trans overhaul. i ran 13.8 @ 100.34 mph.
I also went from 3:73 to 3:42

Any clue on what my time should be now?




MODS:
3:42 gears
Electric W/P
Borla Cat-Back (opened)
Hollow Cats
TB Bypass
Moroso CAI
Shift Kit and Rebuild


13.8 @ 100.34 MPH, 2.0 60'

 

You went DOWN in gearing? Why? Also, is it an A4 or M6? Why would you go down from 3.73's?

 

the reason for the gear change. I bought a set of 3:73 richmond gears + torsen differential + Install= ~700.00

To make a long story short. I was driving my car (the day of my wedding)
when i pulled out from a red light (i mean i launched). when the car shifted into second all i heard was a loud bang and it felt like the trans. came thru the floor.
so i get the car home and pull the cover off the rearend. well when i pulled the cover off i saw that the pinion gear was completely destroyed. Meaning that it locked up. Well i said !@#$!@#@*&&^ alot and decided i was going to just put a complete stock rearend in it.
and i found a good deal on a low mile complete 3:42 rearend. i wasn't trusting anyone else to put gears in my car.(at least not yet)

if you want to know more i put the rearend in and take the car for a ride. i get on it and when it shifts the trans bangs again. I also lost drive and overdrive. (found out that when the rearend locked up the trans. went thru alot of stress and also broke).This really sucked.

Trans rebuild - $1272.00, new rearend - $200.00, Driving an F-Body - priceless

 

and it is an A4.

Can you get an M6 built? just curious

 

Yes, you can get it built, but you cannot put a "shift kit" in it, like you stated.

 

When you had the trans. rebuilt, did you have a higher stall converter put in? With a good set of tires, I can see you getting around mid 13s.

 

2200 stall came with the kit that he installed.

ran out of cash.

But why would it spin thru 2nd gear now? it never did before.
