Quote: if you want to drive it anywhere then gear/tire size and converter needs to be part of your quest for mid 9s because there is no way I would have been able to deal with my car with anything more than a 3.55 gear during drag week
Ray.splurge for a GV and get rid of the 3.55s. That and a cage update.
I wouldnt run DW without a OD trans... can it be done... sure but the OD sure helps to lower the rpm during the drive.... I went with the 518 trans which cost ALOT less than a GV and its a touch more OD.. then I went with 4.10 gears
That and a cage update.
