3.5x's or 3.2x's would be better. 3.73's are probably a little too much for your combo, if your running an auto

well, with my 3.27 in my nine bolt i cross the line at about 4600
rpm. i will probably in the future switch to a 3.45 or so to pull me through the traps at say 51-5200 rpm. my tpi is modded so will pull just a hair longer than stock set-up.

what about a power adder? ur adding jsut gears not a power adder


my 3.27's pull me thru the line at around 4200rpms....

3rd gear to 4800rpms or so takes me to 110-115 mph


i would say, under a perfect launch which can be done, on decent street tires, u can cut a bottom 1.9 60 foot and hit a high 13

else ur gonna need a torque converter and maybe some bolt ons.

or the right suspension mods will also help... i think my 1.8's on street tires are pretty much due to the shocks/springs

if u put in some adjustable shocks and drag springs, u can launch very hard off the line and get 13's

What brand of street tires are you using to cut 1.8 short times? Any other suspension mods?
