Subject: Re: New Bests at the track today, but........ by dan0617 on 2009/9/24 14:09:56 My original goal on this setup was a 10.7 on a 225 shot. I'm up to a 250, but I think my solenoid is maxed out, think I'm getting about a 230 or so. Bottle pressure was only 900 with a heater, need to add a 2nd heater. I honestly think with higher bottle pressure, tune dialed in more, and 3.45 gears I'll get down to a 10.40, possibly a 10.30. When my converter locks just after the 2-3 shift my rpms are dropping down to 3950 with the 3.07's. With 3.45's it will only drop to about 4400 or 4450, and will then get up near 6000 rpms when crossing the stripe. Should be perfect. I know most don't gain much from a gear change with an auto but I'm still dead hooking the launch so I don't think tire spin will slow me down with the new gears, and I think the more optimal rpm at the big end of the track should help me out .1 or .15. Time will tell! |
