Sparky, I am with you on that... I have good power (at least on the dyno to 8400) At the track I will not turn more than 8200... The question is can she actually pull the car to those RPM's
Sum from Utah has sent me his gear charts, so I think I have a good idea of trans ratio, tire height and RPM's and how they all relate to each other and translate to MPH...
If car happens to top out before the traps, I can make some adjustments with tire height, I am starting out with 27" tall tires,, can go up to 29 or 30 if need be.. cheaper to have 2 extra pairs of rear tires and eaiser to change tires than the rear gear on a 9" Ford...
Now if it has not reached top speed at the traps, I can not go shorter than the 27" tires I have, so I will then have to put a lower gear in....
I think I have a good base setup in the car now, but time will tell.
Thanks for the input..... not if the car has the output !!!! LOL
