Anyone ever run a spool with 3.55's on the street? Just curious....
I'm sure you'll be a witness to this progress... LOL. I'm sure at some point you'll be staged beside itI have ran 4.88s and 5.13s and currently have a moser spool and axles with 4.88s in the Dart for street use.
Would I put 3.55s with a spool in a 8 3/4 on the street for everyday driving? No thanks.

So, does "the race continue"?

I'll answer both these quotes the same. Even when we race, the race continues. Be it trucks, vans, or A-bodies, we'll race and post videosIf 318isarolling wants to
the race continues.
I'll just say, if you want to keep costs down, I wouldn't go past 4:10's. Once I went into the 4:xx ratios, heat(@ cruise) became an issue, freeway speeds and fuel economy went into the crapper
Yeah,I was thinking more along the lines of a cam to run the numbers and not the whole package given the limitations you set.
I can say one of the most impressive street combos we had was a 360,j heads with 1.88/1.6 valves mild port to 230s/160s,10.1 compression,284 .484 cam installed straight up 108/108) rpm air gap,750 holley double pump and 3.55 gears.This thing had some serious low end and ran 108 mph in a porky *** challenger weighing in around 3,600 with a way too tight convertor that wanted to die in gear and no real tuning. I think with those things fixed it was capable of 110+ mph.
I have no problem with the 284/484 cam but in a perfect world personally would like to see it on 1.6 rockers as its a bit short on lift with 273 rockers. I still see it as a solid 12.0 project but if you check every box from weight to chassis to tune and the stars align you might surprise us all. I still say if it don't make it I would hit with a 100 shot lol.

I believe in a time and a place too but not a 11 second car. 7’s or low 8’s ok. Different story
The engine was in my dart originally when my cousin owned it. When we got the car we sold it to a buddy who put it in his wifes 73 challenger and with street tires and some 2.0 60 foots the car went 13.0s at 108. He kept thinking it had a carb issue so he had me look at it and when he put it in gear it would dam near die-gotta love them b&m 3000 stall converters!.Do I know that car???
LOL!! Now you are just bragging!!!!
ahhhhh….. I feel the same. If I have a 360 with upgraded heads, cam, headers, converter in a A-body, I don't want NOS to run a high 11. It just don't sound right.Weak moment I guess. Lol

Aren't bottles for babies?????? (oops, somebody will thrash me over that )
No you’re safe. He yelled at my and closed his account. Lol. I’m not saying nitrous doesn’t have a need, it’s just not needed here.
does that include brand "?" station wagons with a Mopar 318 or 5.2?I'll answer both these quotes the same. Even when we race, the race continues. Be it trucks, vans, or A-bodies, we'll race and post videos
Well, he rode with me in my Mustang at the dragway, so yes, brand x included. LOL.does that include brand "?" station wagons with a Mopar 318 or 5.2?
From gurus to self-proclaimed dumbasses LOL elevens are not in your future...Let me just say to the few "nay-sayers", if I don't make it, fine. But I've been told a stock 360 without headers and 2.45's couldn't go 13's, but I went 13.9's consistently. Headers and 2.94's and I'm down to 13.3's. I'm going to change the 4 components (heads, cam, converter, gears) and see what I can get.
P.S. - boost or bottle will not be used.
every time the duster comes out of the garage...Anyone ever run a spool with 3.55's on the street? Just curious....
When did that happen? In Fantasyland?.... I run 4.56's and have zero issues..
Elevens....ahhhhh….. I feel the same. If I have a 360 with upgraded heads, cam, headers, converter in a A-body, I don't want NOS to run a high 11. It just don't sound right.

You have 3.54's with a spool? Dana probably has more meat on the ring/pinion than the 8.75. Fear is without the thickness of ring and pinion, something could break with to much street driving. I've never run a spool, only sure-grips. I can get a new spool for under 100. Sure grips are 2.7 million dollars. It's the reason I'm curious about it.every time the duster comes out of the garage...

I know we're not going to argue the difference between 354 and 355 are we?You have 3.54's with a spool? Dana probably has more meat on the ring/pinion than the 8.75.

Reminds me of a song - I used to do a little bit a little wouldn't do it, so a little got more and more...Nitrous is like anabolic steroids. Each juice cost you some cheap money and it’s extremely effective but not permanent. When everyone is on it, it makes perfect sense to spray since it’s the most logical method to reach the same power level you’re hanging around.
