Bottle Rocket into the 8's in the 1/8 with slipping clutch

It’s a trade off. The car is pig heavy. IDK what the rear gear is but he can’t be anywhere near what it needs to be to get the SLR anywhere close.

Ideally you want the split in the 3-4 or 4-5 shift but you can’t always get that.

What he’s giving up in the 1-2 shift he’s getting back in spades the lower first gear to get it to move.

Post 20. The whole purpose of the build is to use all unwanted parts and car. My bet is the 1st thing to go in the drivetrain once he starts spraying it will be the 8.25 axles. He welded the spider gears as well. But he plainly stated he plans to break parts - even an engine or 3 to get his goal of 10's
