If guys thought gears would help they'd do something about it. But they're not.
And he has a convertor,RIGHT????U know what a convertor does???
Yes I do, I ran a Circle D 4C. That helped me run low 11's N/A with 3.15's. How fast have you been?
10.603 10.604,726rwhp manual.And u just stated a convertor helped u get a low 11 na.A convertor works simular to gears as it slips letting torque be in the opitium range..My slips are in the drag section under new pb runs,along with quite a few guys on here that know what my car runs.
Actually no they work totally different.;)
Thats a good combo,as long as u get the right convertor.
My guess would be these guys bought their cars with the most common gear available and quite honestly, it's too hard for most to the change gears. So they run what came with the car and opted not to change them out. The car should use the gear for the mph it wants to see in the 1/4 at or around the specified red line the engine is built for. That will keep the car in the power band. Converters will help get the car to the desired rpm to use maximum torque to get the car moving. if I didn't street drive my '17 and it was track only. I'd probably have a 5-6500 rpm converter in the car to eat up those lower rpms that aren't making any power.
but your X275 car is shifting once or twice, a 1000whp car seeing a trap speed of about 150mph in the quarter, the 3.15 is the correct choice to only shift twice. past that they are shifting into 4th and out of the powerband or crossing the line 3000rpm below redline.
Yes and thats a great combo with the right convertor,my argument was say take your convertor out and put the stock one back in with them 315 gears and see how it 60 ft.I was telling the other guy im arguing with that if u have 315 gears and even with a centri blower the only way to really get the car moving was one 1 change gears or 2 put a convertor in it,either one will get the car to 60 ft better.Some guys dont have $1200 to dump on a convertor but can spend $200 for a set of gears.This all started with the comment that gears wont make a 6r80 auto faster and thats not true.By the way that vortec u had was rollin,have u sold it yet and whats next?
