Gears
 

I set my car up with 4.30 gears so I could run 1/4 mile but everyone is going to 1/8th so I want to change gears and I only want to do it once. The car weighs 2500 w/o driver. BBC, glide, 4400 convertor,32 x 14.5 slicks running on motor but I do plan on spraying at a later date. I know all cars are going to be a little different in what they like but just wanted some opinions. I can shift at 6400 and cross the line close to 5200 now but may change my shift point up after tuning and seeing where it likes to be shifted at. I only have 8 passes so far so have not set in stone where I will shift. I know it will be between 6400 and 7000. Any opinions would be appreciated.

While each combo is different, I changed from 4:30's to 5:14's and the 60 ft difference was .02...

I have a 540 in a 3100lb car with a glide, 8 inch converter, 32 x14's with 5.14 gears I am just under 7000 in the eighth...

You need to gear it to where it keeps it in the rpm range that your combonation makes the best power IN MY OPINION

alright, who stepped on the spider :roll: :roll:
