Hey guys, I need a SLOWER RATE box for my car, my 1990 IROC 12.7:1 ratio steering box will get me KILLED, so I need a replacement box to bolt in prior events like the PONY EXPRESS 100 and the SILVERSTATE RACE. ALL replies welcomed, thanks everyone.

I cant help you with that but what kind of races are those hi speed?

 

yep they are out on Nevada highways. you have to aim for a ave. speed. ie aim for 135 thoughout the course but you can't drop below 90 or go above like 160. I thinking about doing those to as soon as I get the camaor tuned right.

 

I know my 88 RS (2.8L) has the slow 14:1 ratio box, so I may be somewhat correct in saying all the later v6 cars had them? Possibly the TBI 305's (RS) has them also...

 

Thanks Gentlemen, I will look into that. I think that the 14:1 ratio will fit the bill. BTW, I don't know why my webshots link isn't working with this site, but here is another link to it.

I might have a 14.1 box lying around from a 91 Firebird V6. Too bad it's not out my project car yet and I don't have time to work on my car right now with college and all.

 

hey.. looks like we will be doing the same thing. i should be *99.9%* in the silver state classic next year with my 86 IROC. the car is just now being finished *mechanical wise* and in 6 months after saveing more $$ it will be finished *safety wise* but so far the car "should" be hitting in the 185+mph range/ *again should because i have not had time/place to get it THAT high.* and for the silver state ill be dropping in 2.73's so i can play in the 210's good thing is its all emmision legal too.. i wonder if i have to tell the insurance company though? lol

 

and what makes you think any of your cars is going over 120-125.

 

changed gearing and i got rid of the tranny *700R4* issue of not being able to go into the higher mph. y do u say that our cars cant do over 120?

Well if you're running with EFI and don't program your own eproms.....you won't make it past 110 in a TBI and 120-125 in a TPI car. The fuel cutoff speed is a bummer unless you program your own eproms.
