    what's your FDR? looking at the speeds, it looks like you have a 3.6XX FDR and ran it up in second gear, then shifted to 3rd. either way, what rpm did you start/finish the pull?

    Dave--have you dynoed the car since you swaped to the 3.61 tranny? be interesting to see if the power band changes at all and how much power/torque you lost. you should loose ~8.3% acceleration/power going off of the math (252HP, 239TQ). however, now you are using the flat torque curve to accelerate. so even with a "power" reduction, the combonation is more efficient. --i think i sad that right...

    Well, if he has a 3.29 FDR (which came stock in the GAGT), 6000rpm is good for about 85mph.....so I'm estimating 3.69 gears.
    I'm still himming and hawing between the 1393 and 1280 grinds with my 3.42 gears.
