I should have added this to my last post- but here goes nothing-
Chevy high performance march 03 pg 42

previous best
16.29 with a Th700-R4
new best going from 2.73 to 3.73- 15.82

but their MPH only went up .15
I've noticed gears really dont add mph, but they really help et.
not sure why

they did a few runs so i wouldn't say its all 60'


On page 38 i saw some long tube headers with some weird wires. I CONSTANTLY burn wires and I was looking at it saying "heh that plug access looks as bad as mine"
Then i saw the fugly valve covers that belong to the Lt1
wait a minute
hooke headers, restrictive manifolds-
anyway
[b]Average[b] Tq gain- 27ft lbs!
[b]Average[b] Hp gain- 20hp!
[b]max[b] tq gain- 53ft lbs!
[b]max[b] Hp gain- 34hp!

in Rear Wheel terms its (avg/peak)
22/44ft lbs and 16hp/28hp (17% drivetrain loss)
Not too shabby ehh?


There is one part on Tq converters and weight reduction i'm too lazy to write up
