learn

you just need some practice. My "boat" has run a 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, hardly doggy for a 4400 lb. sled.

My biggest problem is traction!

As an old drag racer from way back, I would love a set of 3.73's for this car, but it is my understanding there is no room in the rear end case for much of a change.

Shorter gears (higher numerically) would sure be fun, I would have to learn my hole shot all over again!

The gearing is perfect for these cars. Higher gears will light you up.

If anything, throw one of our Diff's in. It'll be a true posi then. THe diff with our ESP mod will throw all the power to the rear wheels and it'll be an actual posi. I'd refrain from regearing.

Upon rereading your post, I realized your car is n/a. If your car was Supercharged, I would only change the rear out for a posi. If you plan to leave the car n/a, I'd recommend our 343's or 370's.

Let me know with an e-mail if any of you are interested.

You won't need to program it. The cars uses the ABS speed sensor to measure revolution.

It will not change with regearing.

Whoa! You guys have tallers gears now?!?!? I didn't know that.

So what would the cost be on a pre-assembled Quaiffe unit with 370's attached?
