Hi,
I just installed the track heat top end kit for a 90 mustang 5.0. It also has shorties, no cat h pipe, flowmasters, pullies the usual stuff. It has 2.73's for grears now. I also have a NOS install i am working on and planning on running 11.5's in the quarter. I guess my question is what would be my best gear for this combo? I hear the top end kit makes power to about 5500-5700? And I would need to achieve a 118-124 trap speed. Mathematicly would 3.73's be the right gear choice or something steeper??
oh and i have the 26*10.5 MT et streets
so the other question is i think 3.73's is great to the top of fourth, now 4.56's rings me to near the top of fifth how bad is it to have to shift into 5th while racing????
thanks, your thoughts??
