Dam I feel like an idiot running 558 gears about now.
Brian, hate to interupt this thread BUT since were on the subject of gears I wanted to ask for a recommendation.
What gear would you/ya'll in my car, its pretty light around 3k with fat boy driving, 496BBC, 176 glide, 5800 8 inch converter.
Everybody has been telling me 513 but now I'm thinking maybe taller.
Best sixty so far is a 1.29 footbraking, most of the time it leaves oretty good then unloads after the launch and my short times shows it, usually in the mid 130's. But when it does hook it totes the front tires to almost the sixty.
Also it shifts pretty quick, less than 1/4 track and the motor is around 7800 rpm across the stripe on a short 1/8 mile track.
I've got new (2 weekends) phoinex 14.5 x 32 slicks and it still blows the tires sometimes, I'm thinking a taller gear would help on the launch.
Any thoughts?
Heres a clip of a 1.34 sixty foot launch last weekend, you can see it lift the front end then immediately set back down and spin.
I know we dont have the best track prep in the world ( they rarely spray unless u beg) and that might be an issuse as well.
