Rear gear swap and ET drop?

TwistedGoat · November 30th, 2009, 03:02 PM

I may drive a GTO but my rear end is a 8.8 out of a Termi. It was originally built for a turbo car and they went with 3.27 gears. I'm running a Magnacharger and just wondering how much faster you Termi guys went with a gear swap. I'm leaning toward 3.73s as 4.10s would take me out of 4th gear in the quater. My set up right now is stock long block, blower @ 6 psi, and headers. I've driven to a best of 11.46@120. Thanks for the help.

The biggest advantage to the gears are better 60 foot times. What is the car 60 footing now?

Between 1.9-1.7. I've only been to the track 3 times with my drag radials, so I know I need more seat time to work out the launch.
