The engine is strongest around 5800-6000, so decided to go with the 4.56s, hoping to keep trap rpm around 6300 and make more use of the torque on the 1-2-3 shifts. I will have to start playing around with little things... The runs i made , were all with 80# added weight...The runs with the 4.30 gears, were not. Air was real good, but couldnt take advantage of it, with the 4.88s. Got home last night at 8:30 and ripped it down... Got it all finished tonight, and in the trailer, for some 1/8 mile July 4th Pro action . I will run it out the 1/4 mile to see what it traps at...

Hey, take it easy on that Dillman kid in the black Camaro this weekend!
