Quarter Mile Gear Selection

I’ll be the first to ask:

How the heck do you build that big and elaborate of and engine and not know what gears your running? The whole system works as a package not ala-cart.

First thing my engine builder asked was gears, mt or auto and tire height and weight of the car. Just saying.

The last things you buy on a race car are the torque converter (power band dependent), shocks (ride height dependent) and gears .

In my experience you can get pretty close to your intended powerband by providing factual information to an experienced cam grinder/engine builder.
