The mods are L98 shortblock , TF Heads , Xtreme 218/224 495 /502 cam , edelbrock base asm runners and a 3:27 rear. I was told to get the 2600 but i see alot of people running the 2800 can i get a 2700?

 

Get a 3.73 or 4.10 gear and run atleast a 2800-3000. I have been running a 2400 (because of the 3.27 gear 9 bolt) and am very disappointed. I am now running a 3.73 9 bolt (NOT 3.70) gear and still run the same 1.72-1.75 60 ft times. I am going to a continental 3400 this spring. My car runs 94 mph (1/8 mile) which should be a 7.3-7.5 but only goes 7.7 because of the poor 60 ft time because of the converter even though I now have the gear.

Currently installing 3.73's into my 9 bolt (YES, it is a 9 bolt & YES they are 3.73's, not 3.70. I currently have 4.10 gear sets and new series 3 posi carriers for sale for 9 bolts )

In most cases the torque converter will do more than gears (as already stated) if applied correctly for your particular application. You could go to 2,800 rpm stall and still have fairly good drivability. The stall will vary some as to how strong your engine is (torque). If I can be of help please call me as I am a distributor for Precision Industries, A.C.T., & Continental.

 

I emailed you a few days ago pro built. Hopefully you can hook me up. Thanks
