Hey guys my setup has 373 gears but our local track is only 330 ft. I run a 28x10 slick. Do you think 4.3 gears are too much. Ps car is 5 spd

4.30 is to high a gear in my opinion 3.73 is fine 4.10 is pushing it the higher the number youll gain acceleration but you will lose top end which you need a happy medium at the track if you feel you need out the hole a bit better get some 4.10s or a better rear suspension to get the power to plant on them tires harder.

With the anemic cobra intake and small header that thing most likely makes a lot of torque but is being limited to about 5400rpm peak HP.

What are you currently trapping? Do u have a time slip?

Ever hear of a 1/16 mile track? You don't even get out of 2nd gear. lol

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

I'd set my car up with an old 2 speed powerglide and a set of 5.13's . Never get out of 1st gear. lol

Why bother with just 330'? I don't even like 1/8 mile, 1/16 would just p i s s me off. You should just find a 1/4 mile or 1/8 mile track and let that pony stretch its legs. Keep the 3.73s.

I live in bfe West Virginia and its well over an hour to an 1/8 track. I've not had the car to the track yet. Just acquired it. As for bench racing, it's my first ford and not sure what even works on these things. I would assume I probably get into 3rd close to line. My ls1 car did
