sorry, could you guys also include what gear ratio you have in the rear axle? thanks!302. 76mm. 2step. t56. launch 5500.
its harder to be consistant with a 5 speed...and harder to launchAny differences in launching between auto & stick? Seems like I heard the auto loads the converter harder?
more details on your combo man!converting mine from built AOD to Tremec 3550 as we speak..
That's too much work!!!Yes. but im an importWe are building a T56 01 Z28 right now that will be turbocharged. Ill have to let ya know how that goes.

"harder to be consistent"! "Come to a Pro/Stick race and I'll show you 40+ cars that are more consistent than most any slushbox car"! No matter what kind of set up you have if you want to be competitive you need to invest in quality parts. With a stick car once you start applying a decent amount of power to the ground you will find your weakest links quick. We have a guy that races with us in a Ford probe with a turbo 4cyl. 5 speed that goes high 7's in the quarter. His set up isn't gonna help on a 12second car though. Plus his car is a tube chassis.

I know who's car you are talking about, im over on the umtr....I just thought since that site seems to be acting funky lately it might be better to post this here and hopefully get more views....obviously what applies for a 7 second car is different compared to a 12 second car, but im just trying to see how many guys are doing it, and the different ways they are doing it"harder to be consistent"!

Im currently running a centerforce dual friction, although a slipper like a soft lok would be ideal, especially with the added power...Fred House is his name. I'm not sure what his starting line routine is, but I think that he pre stages then brings the boost up and I'm guessing that he may have a brake pressure gauge that he pre sets when he pre stages and then bumps it into stage and onto a 2-step. What clutch are you running now? What kind of power are you planning on making with the turbo?
The turbo probe you mentioned is Fred House and sadly that car got wrecked last year. I dont think he quite made it into the 7s but ran 8.01 for best. Regardless, Fred's success with his pinto is the reason I spent every penny I could get to swap from a T5 to a Doug Nash 4+1."harder to be consistent"!

Bach in the day, Buddy ingersoll changed from an auto to stick in his prostock turbo buick, everyone told him it wouldn't work, he was banned from the class for kicking their asses.Any differences in launching between auto & stick? Seems like I heard the auto loads the converter harder?
