Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime

Hey Regan, pretty sure I recall you were running a Turbo 400 with a 2.48 1st gear correct? If so are you still running that ratio? I know you are on a throttle stop, but when you have done a full launch how was the 1st to 2nd shift?

I'm running a 4.56 rear gear now with a 32.6" tire (next tire will be a 33), I'm building a new 400 for it and thinking that the 2.48 might be a bit too violent behind a 615ci BBC off the line, motor should be in that 1200hp 900trq give or take range, est shift point 7800, but until its on the dyno these are all just numbers off of past builds the shop has done.


Anyway wondering if I should do a 2.10 1st gear instead.
