Do you guys think that with this increased trap speed I have more room on the table for a better ET once I get the Dyno tune updated with regards to gear change?
Hey all. I finally did the change from 3.55 gears to 4.09 gears in my auto. Here's my results. I picked up a little in the 60 foot, 1/8ET and 1/4ET. Less than I had hoped but I'll take it. Here's what threw me. I picked up 2-3mph in my trap speed (114-115). This threw me because I thought...
Hello all. I read something today about converters that completely thru me for a loop. If I remember correctly, it said that you want to choose a stall speed that is lower than your cruise rpm. I don't understand what this means. Most people I would think, have a 70mph cruise rpm between...
I'm not hoping for night and day difference. I was hoping for maybe 0.2-0.3 tenths in the 1/4 mile with maybe a tenth in the 60'. I watched a couple videos from american muscle where they went with 4.10 gears on a 2014 gt auto and gained 0.3 tenths in the zero to 60. Roughly same hp/tq, same...
Changing gears will do nothing for me with regards to "Bracket" racing. I'm simply looking for a little quicker times from the 60' to the E.T. I'm also looking for a little more seat of the pants fun.
I'm changing from 3.55 gears in my 16 auto gt to 4.09 gears. I bracket race the car at the dragstrip. It has basic bolt ons and a dyno tune with the shift points around 7200rpm and rev limiter at 7800 rpm. I want to put off until the spring getting the dyno tune updated for the gearing change...
I ordered 5mm Eibach spacers for the front. Do you guys think that I need to order the same spacers for the back so that the tires/rims match front to back?

Hey Guys. Thanks for the quick replies. I plan on putting the smallest tires up front that I can. I do a little bracket racing at the local drag strip. I just absolutely loved these wheels because of the deep dish aspect. I got tired of my previous ones. So even with smaller tires up front...
Hello all. I want to get the FR500 deep dish wheels in 20x10/+43 offset/7.19 B.S on all 4 corners. I know they're fine on rear, will they be o.k up front. 2016 Mustang GT
Thanks!!!!!
Hey all. What tire psi are you running on a 15-17 gt auto with basic bolt ons and suspension upgrades with 3.55 gears with the Nitto NT555rII drag radials? I'm running the 305/45/17 on Racestar Wheels. I've always ran mid to upper 20s in psi on this car and a 2010 camaro with a very similar...
Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I bracket race on the weekends. I normally run a 275/40/18 on my 9 inch rim. All I was looking for was a little more tire height while still be safe because I'm gonna upgrade to lower gears. Looks like this might solve the problem.

Hey all. I edited my original post to include more details. Thanks for the replies and thanks for the private conversations I was in. I still am looking for some more input from fellow drag racers. If I go to 3.91/4.10 gears, I'm confident I won't spin on take off and I'm well within staying...
Cory, I do have upgraded suspension components. I get no wheel hop on 3.55s. I'm running an automatic compared to a stick with a high rpm clutch drop, but I only leave off idle, I don't even footbrake it up in rpms at all. I do this to have consistent launch rpms every time. I also run a...
