Please explain? I have seen the SLR charts before but do not understand why a 4.86 is too much for 1/8 mile.. as long as it doesn't spin and the motor is still in it's powerband at the end of the run....I run a 5.14 gear with a 4.25 inch crank...but it is a heavy car. around 3100 lbs. 60 fts low 1.30's
The converter advice I agree with ...just trying to understand how a higher gear would pick up his short times if traction isn't a problem
