1st run 13.52 @107.15
2.43 60'
1/8 8.91@ 84.86mph

2nd run 13.42 @104.61
2.31 60'
1/8 8.78 @ 84.11

the second run i shifted higher than the first at around 6000 rpm the first was at like 5700.

I thinks some of my problem is in my 3:27 gears with T56. I was running 245/50/16 Kumho. what do you guys think?

 

Poor 60' times. You lost HP on the second run probably from the higher shifts.

When I had a 383 stroker runing high 11's I was using 3.27 gear, TH350 tranny, 3800 stall converter and 27.3" tall tires.

Your tires are only 25.6" tall so going to a deeper gear could easily overpower them.

Get some slicks to help control that wheel spin and your ET should drop.

 

yuck that had to suck on the street. but i agree he definelty needs soem better tires to hook up. his 107 trap should be mid to hi 12s

 

I don't know. I've never driven my car on the street. When I bought the car from a friend he delivered it to my house. It was completely street legal at the time and I stripped it and made it into a race car without ever taking it onto the streets. I have no idea what it's like to drive a third gen on the streets. My daily driver is a 1991 454SS pickup.

 

Trust me it's your gears. I'am in the same boat with the 3.27's, they suck with are first gear, good thing I have a set of 4.10's sitting beside me waiting to go in

Hey what clutch setup are you using and how does it perform.

 

Im running the mcleon clutch with zz4 pressure plate. It works great has a nice firm pedal and grabs hard. I know what your saying about the 3:27 with the t56 first gear sux, driving in parking lots or stop and go traffic is horrible. I think some 3:73 would make my car rip. I need to run 12s soon.

 

zz4 pressure plate? No one has told me about that one, you sure you don't mean LT4 pressure plate?

 

Ya LT4 pressure plate sorry it was late when I wrote that. What are you running for a setup?

 

SPEC stage 2 kevlar crap, I'am not happy with it at all. If you try to launch the car at 3-4 k and let the clutch slip tell you get moving the clutch will be done for the rest of the day. Even my cheapo clutch for my t-5 when I had that in there performed better then this piece of ****, and I cost 3X less.

Looking for a new setup, maybe a SPEC stage 3 but I'am not to sure anymore.
