I won't need to. Shall I leave the e-brake on to make it more fair?

That and you get to start in the waterbox.

That was good driving, quick shifts, and looks like you dump it at 4000+ rpms... What tires?
How much power does the set up make?

I experimented with launch RPM. Best 60ft was a 1.58 launching around 4500ish with not quite a dump of the clutch but a fast release. Wheels are CCW Purners with ET Streets out back. Car made 474/520

What headers / exhaust are you running ?
What gear ratio?

Nice run

Steve@ADS · September 14th, 2006, 07:49 PM

Mopar headers and 3.55 gears. Im going to have to change out for a taller gear as Im close to running out as it is.

Seems like that gear ratio is perfect.
Everyone says no to it...

On the street, it must ' feel ' a lot faster with the 3.55's.
Had 3.42's in my C5 and thought, and still feel, it's the perfect gear for a 6 speed for the street.

Hard to get used to the tall gears of the 3.07's...
Definitely easier to walk someone on the street if one so chooses with a ratio like a 3.42 or in this case 3.55.

Very true, but in my situation if I want to go any faster, I either have to go to a taller gear or taller tire.

woodyz viper · September 14th, 2006, 08:27 PM

Would you say that for street purposes the 3.55's feel much better ?

At low speeds I know the cars don't hook up at all, but at let's say 40 plus mph I would think the 3.55's rock.

( Yes, considering it this spring ).

Steve@ADS · September 14th, 2006, 09:20 PM

The 3.55s are great for the street. On street tires it was not very fun to drive as it would just blow the tires off. Kuhmo 710s and now the car hooks great.
