SS/CS Start line Ratios

[Adger Smith]

The 2.45-1.45 is a real good ratio.
The % drop between gears is good.
I heard rumors that was what the fastest CS car had in it.
If you want to take a little low gear and a tiny bit of second gear out of it try putting a "F" in place of the "E". Makes it a 2.41/1.48
That is what is so nice about the pro flites.
Watch the fast comp guys. A lot are in High at or before the 330....JS

Thanks for the reply, it seems our current Ratios are in the ball park then to what you guys are running in SS/CS which is good to hear. We did have to send our converter off for repair sometime ago and ever since then it has not been the same. We have a newer billet style on the way to test so the tired converter may prove the reason why the newer Ratios hadn't performed as expected.

Are you guys still running solid lifters in lieu of roller lifters?
By the way, the right converter is a game changer for performance.

Yes solid lifters are still mandated with a maximum of .904 lifter size. Solid lifter makes them a little trickier to peak at the same RPMS as the SS/CS combos but they get close.
