lower my time?
 
hey all,
right now i run right around 16.0 in the 1/4 mile, for some reason i cant get traction :confused: . so right now i have a posi unit with 3:73 gears on order.

what do you think the change of gears will do for my time?
right now i have 3:27 gears in it.
thanks all

You should notice a little difference.. if traction is an issue.. you might want to run a different tire.

Ummm, less traction? :rolleyes:
Get some wieght off the front, pull the sway bar links, launch a little softer, or what the heck with those times, leave the traction control on! I've seen guys run low 14's with it on. :)

sorry to maybe confuse you all, you guys think i have a gt?.
its only the 3.8 V6. that is why the shitty times.
and when i say no traction i mean, i spin for a couple feet or so (one wheel peel)
i just thought going to a 3:73 gear would make a big difference, and what i mean by a big difference would be a second. and going to posi would help me out on the traction part. :rolleyes:
thanks again

What tires are you running?

You'll be in the 15s for sure with the gears and posi and it will help your traction problem.

these are the tires i have on it now.

your MPH is good to touch low 15's, MAYBE even high high 14's, if you can launch the car. It will spin a bit more in 1st, but the posi should help out. If you can muster a 2.0 or reach for a 1.9... 14's to low 15's would certainly be attainable.

373's and t-lok will help[ out for sure, they will net you mid 15's.

From your current times I assume you have a 5-speed? Cause 16.0 is pretty good for an auto.

White_Snake 05-26-2005 08:53 PM

nope i have a auto

V6Sprout 05-26-2005 09:18 PM

wow, great times. A 3000 stall torque converter will help a lot for the auto's, if your looking for more power off the line. The t-lok will help with traction as your sending it all to one wheel now, with t-lok it will be between the two wheels.
