will it go faster or slower?
took the car out for the first time last week and was impressed with the new engine set up. 1/8 mile it it ran 5.51 @126 at 7000 rpm. engine is 565 bbc that dynoed 1011 peak at 7200 thru 7400. max torque 795 at about 6200. car weighs 2910 with driver and has glide with 1.80 first. the rear i have now is a 4.88 with a 33" tire. i feel that when i quarter the car it might run high in the rpms. i have a new 3rd member that is 4.56 and wondering if that gear will slow the 1/8 time down or will it improve? the converter locks at aprx 6000 rpm and 2nd gear shift point is 7000.
