which gear ratio for 1/8 drag strip?
I do not agree that a 5000 stall is too much. I was running a 9 1/2 4000 stall behind a 360/380 hp crate motor with 5.14 gears and ran a best of 7.46 in the 1/8 at 2950. I put a PTC 8 in race convertor that flashed 5500 and it ran a 7.32 first pass. I was shifting at 5800 rpm. I was running a M/T 315/60 ET Street Radial 30 in. tall on home made Caltracs and stock leaf springs.
