2.74-1.54-1.00-.69 so the starter become 4.30 x 2.74=11.78, which with a manual trans would be great, but with an automatic, and a 2800, IMO is excessive, altho it would produce a lot of wheelspin .
Fair question;
At a true stall of 2800, I suppose a mildly built 318 of unspecified compression might be making 300 ftlbs. With a starter gear of 11.78, this translates to 3534 ftlbs out the back door, before we even figure out what the TC is capable of.
At this point, it matters not what street tires are on it, they are gonna light up.
but Ok, lets say the 318 has a real crappy CCP and only makes 200 ftlbs at 2800, I mean that would be the saddest day of OPs life. But still,
200 x 11.78=2356 ftlbs before the TC adds it's thing, Lets say the TC has a mediocre multiplier of 1.6@zero mph. So then 1.6 x 2356=3770, which is certainly enough to break loose any pair of street tires that you can fit back there.
But honestly, that was your take-away?
