According to Drag 2000, mine will do the 1/4 mile in 12.2 at 113 MPH, and 60 foot time at 2.1 seconds, with current gearing.
If I change the rear to 3.89:1, I can get 11.97 sec for the 1/4 mile at 116 MPH, and 60 foot time at 2.0 seconds.
I can keep the gears I have now and go to a 3500 stall converter, now my time is 11.8 and my 60 foot time is 1.7 seconds.
I probably need better tires also.
This was using a '69 Chevy truck for Drag co-efficient. My truck is a little more slippery than a '69 Chevy. I used 4000 lbs as the weight.
Phil,
You get out very fast. Do you have an Auto trans? What is the stall speed of your converter?
