Re: Black Gold Build, v2.5

I think that rear gear is pretty high and a 3.73 or 4.10 would be better fit and still ok cruising in OD. That said you should be making enough power that even with 3.07's it will have no problem burning tires off.
I have never used water/meth but expect it would be a bit more work to tune than with an air to air intercooler.

Re: Black Gold Build, v2.5

I have heard mixed reviews on the gear. Some people say that 3.07 is decent with a turbo. Helps load up for spool and not blow the tires off the line. I don't think it will matter much. Tires wont hook for awhile I'm assuming!

I'll try the 3.07 and if I find it miserable then I'll go 3.73.

Re: Black Gold Build, v2.5

Progress is slow but progress none the less.

Got 1 side almost back together, have 90% of the parts for the engine parts, engine primed, and did some paint sampling on one dog dish. I am liking the metallic gold. Prolly going with that and the same with the front bowtie.
