this question is for any of you mathmatical/engineering types..... if i have a car that has a 4.86 rear gear ratio..a 32 inch tall tire...and crosses the 1/4 between 7100-7200 rpms at 131.78 mph.......what rear gear ratio would i have to install in this car to get the rpms up to 8100-8200...

if the starter or starter wire was bad,the car would not crank at all.....and from my experience with a fuel problem,the car would run improperly and would also trigger an engine light...because the system will sense a lean mixture/lean condition...i still say its a bad ignition module...but i...

hey i wouldnt think it would be a fuel problem...either a fuel pump works or it dosent,usually not an intermitent problem...i had the same thing happen on one of my early vets and it turned out to be a bad ignition module....but it could be something different......when the problem is occuring...

does anyone have any experience with the red line full synthetic oils? i have to drop my spare small block chevy race engine in this weekend and its a real hi rpm piece...the motor in the car now ive been launching around 4500 rpm,shifting at 6800 rpm and it goes through the traps around 7200...

you bought a complete lt5 with tranny for 3750.00?? find it hard to believe...the lt1 and ls1 motors are selling for just about that...you get better deals than i can for sure

the trans has a black tag...whats the difference between the 90-92 and the 93 up? i live in an economically depressed area...people are just giving stuff away so they can pay bills,eat etc...you wouldnt believe the stuff around here and the prices......you would cry if i told you!!! yes i have...

ive been looking at an LT5 engine and trans that are for sale locally.the guy is telling me that this was a factory replacement LT5 and trans. that the dealer had replaced the original LT5 engine and trans under warranty at one point during the cars lifespan....the engine and trans do not have...

also ken......the motor we have in our car now,we had put on an engine dyno...if you want,i can post those numbers for grumpy to run on his software and compare it to the actual dyno sheet we have...this way we can maybe figure out a margin of error between the software and the actual dyno...

thats a hell of a lot of power ken for the street......does anybody have one of those chasis dynos locally to you?? they are nice because you can put the whole car on there and make changes between pulls and you can see right away if the power and torque are affected by that change....the local...

thanks stang on friday nights we run at lancaster dragway....on saturdays we race at new york international/empire or leicster....so many different names for the place...and on sundays we race at toronto motorsports park up in cayuga ontario canada

the battery is in the trunk area.....what i notice is when i come back from a run,the battery usually is at 60%...the meter usually shows around 12volts.....i put the charger on and after awhile it reads 85% charge but my dash guage shows 15.5-16volts....i drop it to 8 amp charge and that drops...

i am still extremely impressed with an L98 with minor mods,2.59 gear and an even taller tire,which i am guessing might make it a 2.55 or 2.57 gear,that is running 13.187...to me,thats incredible....i am guessing your car and you are in the 3500lb range?? with that et,that would put you at aprox...

mad here is the only possible problem i see with your recomendation......as you know combinations have to work together in order to increase performance...if something in the combination dosent match with everything else you have done,it could actually hurt the cars performance....and converters...

haha!! pricey!!...i just spent 1050.00 for a converter from coan.my opinion is a good stall converter is worth getting,depending on what you are doing with the car.but i wouldnt get a generically built one from the large wharehouses.if you call one of these shops,they can custom build one for...

i think what brett is asking is what the first, second and third gear ratios are inside the trans itself...thats pretty interesting to know because you can pick up alot of additional 60 foot time/acceleration performance by playing with ratios and or setting up the rest of your combination to...

I dont know boys!! this is how it usually works....if you leave it on your car,you will never get a flat...if you take it out and leave it home,guarenteed you will get a flat...you know how that works....especially those low profile, wide tires. once they get low on tread,they are like flat magnets.

i am totally lost as usual....i have an optima deep cycle battery in a race car with no alternator...between rounds i usually charge the battery up at 10-12 amps and the battery holds up very well...last saturday the car got into the finals and they gave us very little time to charge the battery...
