4.56's and spray?

[06iornhorse]

how will the combo work do yall think. I was wondering if any one else has done it and how it worked for them or is it just to much gear. oh im spraying a 100 shot.

You MIGHT not be able to make it through a 1/4 in 4th, no experience first hand though. I run 3.73s and I need a **** hair more gear, maybe a 3.90 or a 4.10.

 

[rojizostang]

i think it depends on how tall of a tire you're running.

x2....

 

[confuzed]

too much gear unless you running a 28.5in tire or better. you should run over 120mph with a 100shot , with a 28in tire it would be over 6600rpm. IMO

i think he prefers 1/8th mile racing so he may be ok with a decent tire

 

[06iornhorse]

I have gone to the quarter only a hand full of times I do prefer the 1/8th, at this time I am running a 26x11.5-17 but am about ti get 15's and get taller rolling stock for them. I know the car will love the gears on a motor pass but I like to spray from start to finish. So I guess I would be the first to atempt this on these cars.

Too much gear , you can go 4.10s with a 28.0 tall tire .

I got 4.10's with a 26 now had 28s and it bogged out of the hole with them dropped back down to 26's and no more bogg and I don't spin if track is peeped good at 6500 rpm dumps

 

[Redfire_WNL]

4.56? I was thinking 4.10s were to much for me but your taking it to another level.

 

[KungFuHamster]

maybe a 4.30 will be a good compromise?

 

[Chris06GT]

4.30 and 28" tall tire is great for a nitrous combo.....

I have times on this setup, but don't want to post them up just yet...I am still playing with a few other combo's and will be starting a build thread soon...

 

[06iornhorse]

wouldnt 4.30's and 28's be like what i have now with 4.10's and 26's?

 

[Chris06GT]

wouldnt 4.30's and 28's be like what i have now with 4.10's and 26's?

Kind of, yes....but, you can leave more violently and harder with a 28" tire then you can with a 26" tire...IMO

I am running 373`s with a 100 shot and 27 inch tire. I am not sure if that is good or not also. I think that is just way to much gear.

 

[06iornhorse]

6500 rpm dumps spraying out of the hole is pretty violent as i am lifting the wheels 6 to 8 inches off the ground and carrying them about 10 feet on stock wheels and tires in the front.

What gears do you have now?
What are the RPM`S at when you are going through the traps?

 

[06iornhorse]

i have 4.10s and am at 6000 through the traps in 4th gear in a 1/4 with 26 inch tires. i ran an 11.59 with shit for air after it had rained all day in the 1/4.

So your hitting the nitrous right out of the gate with a 28 inch tall tire and it boggs with 4.10s . Whats your 60ft with the 26 tall tire and 4.10s out the gate on spray?

Is your motor stock with stock heads? If so why would you shift at 6500 rpms , its not making any power up there and your buzzing the motor pretty high so harmonics can hurt your oil pump.

[06iornhorse]

yes i bogged with 28s and 4.10s i dont bog with 26s and 4.10s. I have a stock long block with cams and shift at 6200. I dump the clutch at 6500 rpms i dont shift at that. 1.5s is my 60fts all day long.
