410 gear reduce my 0-60 time???

[robg860]

Hi, today 410 put in 1996 auto GT. Girlfriends car i prefer 5-speed. Anyway, lets say we hit 60 with stock gear in 7 seconds. Do you think the gears put me at 6.5????????? MAybe that is too optimistic. What do you guys say??

 

[GREENBIOCH]

you will gain....not sure if it will be 0.5 sec but it will definately improve.

 

[ponysarepretty]

Its about a 1/3 increase in gearing. 2nd gear tops out at ABOUT 80mph, so it will now be ABOUT 60 mph. If your lucky you will not have to shift and gain maybe a few tenths, if you do shift, take a tenth or two off what you have gained. Also depends on if you can get traction.

What does it matter for 0-60 the 60 ft and 1/4 mile is what matters!

If you're stopped on the side of the freeway and need to get back into fast, heavy traffic. (oh, and the shoulder ends in 50 feet)

 

[86bluecobra]

yes it will have probably improved aslong as your not roasting the tires now.

Don't forget if you're being shot at by a bunch of gangsters.

I definately think your times will be improved. Let us know how much.

Do the j-mod on it too, that and the gears will make a big difference!

 

[MGSTANG]

Ok, I must be dumb. J-mod?

Highly suggested to read the whole site: http://www.tccoa.com/

 

[03ghoststang]

yes the J-mod a very good mod for an auto

 

[propellerhead]

You'll probably get slower 60 ft times at first, then it will improve.

4.10's will help 0-60, but you are probably better off with 3.73's because you have the non-PI heads. the 4.10's may keep you too high in the RPM and miss it's powerband.

0-60 is a magazine thing, but in your case a 6.5 is realistic. Im not too familiar with non pi cars, but Im sure that 3:73-4:10's will only help. I dont see u making more than 180 rwhp so tire spin might not be much of an issue. Ive stop watched my car at around 4.7-5.3 secs to 60mph and thats with tire spin so I dont know how accurae that is.

This is a 1996 GT Auto, My Auto 98 GT (3.08) hit 99mph in second, and i could wind it out over 100.

0-60 is a magazine thing

0-60 was the orginal test to see who was faster, mainly cause it was the top speed of the day, today it's more of a 'how fast can I go from a stop to highway speeds'

Your car hits 60 in around 5 seconds flat. Seems kind of fast for a auto, do you run drag radials, I see all your suspension mods so I know it hooks.

Well I did use Nitto DR's to get my best ET...in sig, but I drive around on Kuhmo mx's for the street to get the 4.7-5.0 sec 0-60 times. I do have a decent suspension set up and a good trq converter which makes all the difference.

Awesome time I think that is really quick for a Auto car, in your sig you say you only have around 245hp at the wheels? Also on your 13.1 quarter run do you remember what your 1/8 was. I am very interested in your car because mine is a auto too and my new motor is going in at the end of next month and Im trying to get a idea of what other stangs are running (with autos) Your car is very impressive for such a small list of power makeing mods, your suspension is another story

yep exactly ive had 4.10's now i have 3.73's... i picked up about .2-.3 seconds at the 1/8 mile track around here
