hemi-itis OP I Live Here Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 12,587 Great Neck,LI,new york	I'm going over the finish line at 7300 and would like to see it around 66-6700 rpm.Could this be done by going from a 31 inch tall tire to a 33 inch tall tire?? Would also like to loosen the stall but that would increase the RPM at the stripe. Now have a Dana with 4:10 & 31 inch tall tire. Peak Tq is around 5000 RPM and HP is 6200 HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!

68LAR master Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 4,013 South Park, Pa.	Because of tire clearance, I was looking at dropping down to a 4.30 or 4.10 gear. I'm going thru the traps at close to 6500 with 4.56 and a 29" tall tire. My concern is what affect this would have on my short times. Remember, I've got a heavy stick car. Don''t mean to hi-jack this post. Just thinking out loud on the web. 4 speed street legal. Best time 10.99 @ 124 mph on 93 octane pump gas @ 3926# total weight

Your gonna loose torque due to ratio... but with a stick you can jack up the revs... will you see the change... maybe not(on the torque) but your revs will drop

My engine was turning 7000 but drive shaft was 5600 -a lot of slippage, still went 125 mph in eigth. Sent vert back two more times to tighten up, check that first.

Al sometimes the weight of the car and the gear have opposite effects. I thought you bought a racepak, and if you hook it up you can see converter slippage at the stripe. Will tell you facts. With that said, I would try a 4.30 and the car will tell you the answer... SS/DA 1924

Doug like i said et means nothing mph determines trap rpms. watched some old films of 1964 super stockers, they ran 11.60s at 130 mph. a lot of difference then and now. today some cars run FAST out the back door.
