[?

Anyone ever run a stock'ish gear (3.23), and then put more gear in the car (4.56)?

Remember how much quicker the 4.56 gear was?...lol...

Also, loose converter with a gear like that will absolutely sucks for drivability on the street... (ever taken off from 2nd or 3rd on accident, it's terrible)

So why couldn't you do it? Oh you can, it will just be A LOT slower...

My Dad ran his blown small block car from 2nd gear this year (so he could run the Sportsman class). It's heavy, and has ~5200 stall converter. As I remember the car was about 6~7 tenths slow!

I run 3:23 gears in my valiant. Stock 440 shortblock, 509 cam, factory heads 3800 trans specialty's converter (runs great on the street) at the track I shift at 5500 and trap 5300.

P.S. If you do a burnout and leave in 2nd on the street it dead hooks. the car runs 11.70's thru the exhaust and is a street car not a race car.

I'm trying to convince myself to change gears to 3:91 or 4:10 but I'm afraid I won't hardly pickup.

Ryan J went from 3:55 to 3:91 or 4:10 and picked up nothing.
