I don't think it'll pull it in 6th regardless of rear gear.

Top speed is never a consideration, just a "what if"

A good 1/4 mile gear (assuming you finish in 4th) will also be a good street and highway gear.

But I need a dyno curve before I can be your gearing "expert".

That sounds as close as you're going to get to an "all around" gear, from what I understand, which, ain't much.

If this is a street car, why not street gears...just wonderin...

The goals seem to be all over the place...1/4 mile, top end, street...

Pick one and go with it. There is no one all around solution.

Come close to what 200 mph?

Wonder how much power it takes for a C4 to reach 190'ish?

Not really worried about 200. I know it won't have that kind of power!

With the right gearing, 200 doesn't take as much as you think.

I posted the breakdown somewhere else, I'll see if I can't find it.

My posts in that thread have 200mph happening at about 450rwhp in a C4 with proper gearing and enough track.

Gear it where the cam is going to like it the most, dont do it for top or cruising speed.

He posted a 13.50 at 101 on the timeslip thread, says it was stock. But that was at the magical Etown track that is built in the bottom of a mineshaft.

Mine's not technically stock as I've ported the plenum and put a cold air intake and new exhaust after the stock Y pipe. The drivetrain is basically all 89 stuff.

65Z01 I think had some killer times on his stock 88.

What was your 1/8th mile on that run? Did you put it in the timeslip thread? I like seeing good times on stock engines on there.

From what I have seen it's a very green running motor. I have't seen very many people run a 13.6 with a stock L-98 with a 1.95 60 foot.

I don't think that's anything unusual. My conclusion is that most everyone else just can't drive what they have.

My best was 13.79@100.4 w/ 2.01 60', SAE corrected to 13.67@101.3. I don't even know what mine is capable of since I have only 6 passes on the 1/4. 99% of my stuff is at the local 1/8th mile. One of these days I'll dyno it.

My 88 was dynoed bone stock. It made 211rwhp(yeah i know), but it made 318 rwtq. I was suprised that it made that much TQ. In my opinion the L-98, or at least my motor was underrated in the TQ department.

My new motor should be in the area of 460rwhp in the same chassis. Ouch!

NEW motor? A 20 year old L98 that has 211 is VERY good. It is obviously in excellent condition and has a GOOD burn and tune.

I would NOT pull that motor.

It is just too much effort to even worry about the other guys and who cares for, or doesn't.

John, my recommendation to you is, just do what you want and don't even tell what you are doing!!! Is it really that important for these guys to know the details of your build?

I probably have close to 400hp rear wheel, but I don't even have the energy to make someone believe me, nor do I give a shit. they aren't my friend or neighbor nor will ever be.

Sorry, I'm not in this to impress anyone except myself.

Love Ya, lets Party

Don't Worry just relax

well, the cool crowd on camaroz28.com humps advanced inductions leg. i got a page of people giving me shit here about how i should post my cam specs. well if you must know its about 2 feet long and about 2 inches in diameter with a 107 lsa for my lazy ports.

Chocolate chip I hope....John did Pete say yes? I myself would be worried about the warranty, and the reputation of the shop.

apparently you don't get out too much cause they are sponsors on a few f body sites with tons of good feedback.
