Call Pat G. He has been doing some fantastic tunes. I'd also contact Albert and see when my buddy Bret will be out there next. You can't beat these tuners most likely. It's your build, choose wisely
I think Im going to run 3.0 pulley (14-16psi) and Torco for the immediate future until I can afford meth. This build is costing me as much as what some people make in an entire year, I will NOT accept anything under 400rwhp. I think a 3.0 on a D1SC (even with stock heads/cams) should get me well into the 400's. Im just worried about detonating, hence the Torco.
Torco is a good idea for insurance if you're not using meth.
Yeah, my builder has box after box of it. He's experienced with it and uses/sells it quite often. I'll just run that until I can get a good meth kit, which shouldn't be too long.
Am I going to be running out of gear with the 4.10's on the strip?
With 4.10s your going to be topping out at 130ish in O/D, not good if you ask me. I would step down to a 3.55 gear or go with a 3.31, hell I think Will is still running the stock 3.27s in his auto S/C stang. I've never been a fan of gear swaps, they are only good if you have high flowing set of heads and some big ass cams that can take advantage of the higher RPM range.
I know it's posted it's posted earlier, but what do you plan on doing with your gearing?
I recently swapped in some 3.73s (full 31 spline setup at the same time). I picked up at least 3 mph over the stock gears, maybe more in cooler weather. Definitely a worthwhile mod for the auto with the long 1st gear and a stock converter.
With stock height tires (25.66") and turning 6500 rpm (you might turn more, idk) with 4.10s, 3rd gear will get you 121 mph (not enough for the 1/4 mile for your setup) and overdrive will get you 172 mph.
Everyone prefers different things, but I'm of the opinion that 4.10s will be way too much gear. Coming from experience with my own car and the troubles of sticking the tires on the street, you will NEVER hook 1st gear unless on good drag radials or slicks at a well prepped track. Heck, I doubt it's going to stick in 2nd gear. My car, not making anywhere near the power you will, and with only 3.73s, and with a lower stall, has a hard time sticking 1st gear on the street. If I was doing your build, I'd go 3.73s at the absolute most, probably 3.55s.
That being said, you can always finish your build and swap the gears out afterwards if you don't like them.
