Re: Rear gear question
I have to think the converter is real tight.
My Nova is 3600#, 1.80 glide, 4.10 gear, 28" tire and has 660 HP. I can't go 133; 128 is about the best it'll do but it's usually a 1.40 60'. So, same running gear setup but heavier and less power.

Re: Rear gear question
5.14 and a 3 speed might get him there...

Re: Rear gear question
A 2.74:1 first gear 3 speed and his present 4.1:1 would give him a 11.234 SLR. Not a bad starting point.

Re: Rear gear question
SLR is internet forum bs like dynamic compression ratio.
My SLR is 8.748, what am I doing wrong?   Meanwhile, I have a data recorder, download every pass and KNOW at what RPM exactly my converter flashes to and falls back to on the gear change as well what RPM I'm shifting at and crossing the stripe at in addition to all the other data I record and plot every pass.
