Who is the fastest NA 2V on the board?

[steedastang]

I havent run mine in over a year but it should be mid to high 12 second capable. I plan on running it before it gets to hot out though. We'll see..........

yea a good 60 makes a world of differance in the e.t


1.7 60 13.1 at 103

me 2.26 60 14.1 at 102.


of course the auto sucks...I hope I can get it down to 1.9

Put a little bigger Converter in and step up to 4.30 gears and your car will pick up big time :boink:

yea....I bet haha.

Its my DD so im gonna stick with the 3.73s for now.

The way fuel prices are going i will be dropping some 1:1's in pretty soon. :hammer:

I drive mine everyday with 4.30's. You can't run a 90 on the hwy but you can keep pace with traffic and be under 3000 rpms.

 

[justinschmidt1]

im at about 2500 at 70 with the auto....I dont like running high rpms...

can you get a lower gear than a 2.73 for a 8.8?

 

[MadMod]

You mean a higher gear? Like a 2.30? I don't know if you can go any higher than a 2.73 and I don't see why you would want too?

haha just wondering.


I thought the 2.73s were good for a turbo car?

 

[MadMod]

Something along the lines of a 3.55 would be better for a turbo car unless you want to go 250mph

I was under the impression that a longer gear was better for building boost.

that would be cool to have like 600 rwhp and 2.73s



It would probably pull hard

The 3.55 will help it to build boost faster than a 2.73 would. Hence equaling a faster car. Maybe not top speed wise. This is my understanding anyways. The 3.55 will multiply Torque more than a 2.73 would

No. Just the opposite. Turbos require load to build boost. Lower gear = higher load

Of course, this can be accomplished through electronics as well. You can build boost in neutral with an AEM.

[justinschmidt1]

I knew I wasnt crazy.....

I knew that turbos required load and that lower gears were usually better for a turbo car.

Anyways

Isn't that referred to as "brake boosting" ?

 

[2REDSTANGS]

will lower gears be quiker on the highway until you redline in 5th or are higher gears better for going from 60-110mph
really what i am asking is what gear is best for 60-110mph

 

[Jrgunn5150]

Accroding to your sig, you have a 3:73 car and a 4.10 car.

IMO, I would say something like a 4.30 would be better, but it really depends on which gear you wanna hit 110 in.

i do but the 2 cars pull completly differently, i was wondering cause i can hang with my buddies car until about 90 then he takes off, i guess he some how makes more power up there?
