Brett's pass with new gears

https://youtu.be/T_adcqSkB1I

Tried more gear in the 411 NA small block.

Sweet,time for bars.

Second pass.

Wow crazy bounce front end must be real real loose. Hopefully the car isn't hurt

By the forth pass we swapped the 4.30 gears back in.

Hopefully he didn't bend the car. Time for bars for sure or a different setup. Popping up way to fast, not the greatest way to set it up.

Front afcos were full tight on third pass and five clicks from full tight on second pass. Just needs more weight on front with the radials. Car is fine, didn't touch headers or oil pan. Oh he don't like bars so that's not a option at this time.

Glide.

Fourth pass looks great, new gears and the 400# of sand bags out of the trunk , right. :>} No way did just a gear change to 4.30,s made that much difference.

I think the video speed is off, making it look like its slamming down harder than it really is.

Only change was gears
Made the swap between rounds.

No it came down Hard.

Did you add weight to the front before taking gear out of it? Making some power.

No we didn't have any with us. Brett thinks it will be faster to eighth with steep gears in it.

Went from 4.86s to 4.30s that's it. Shocks and weight of car the same.

Looks like it bounced back up.. been there done that..
when my struts blew out it would do that in all 3 gears
on my junker... HAD to get them rebuilt plus it bent the
ball joint stud on them

Wheelspeed is your friend Unless that's a radial in which case need to do some work

275 radial.

I'm no expert, but it looks like it could have used 100# up front before making the gear change. It would probably still be quicker to the 1/8th with the added weight.

Is he running a glide like you brad

904....and if iirc, low gear too. But that may have been changed out.

very nice! I always loved that car

Low gear gone

I think it will take a pile of weight up front to hold it down. Last pass of the day he got after the launch with the 4.30s and pulled a 1.5' wheelie. I don't know what he will do with Mr 909 in there.

2.28 first gear with a low rear.

Great numbers.

This is probably the best bet.

Softer less aggressive torque converter... is what I was told would help my cars short time improve and take some of the hit away...it is doing the same thing with a 1.87 first..I should have new 7in vert next week..I will hopefully Have good news to report back. Good luck

Is that1.22 60' on the back tires? It seems that it carry the wheels out pretty far. Man uall are serious with those small block

You tell me, I didn't get it all but here is what I got.

Very impressive

The startig line ratio, 1st gear + rear gear ratio + tire hieght, determine how hard and quickly the car spins or wheelies

Brett and brad are definitely some sharp guys.. and got that thing flying.. the funny thing is looking at the video you would expect it to be another 12 second car... i vote sleeper of the year
