well, it is pretty tough to judge what the gears gave you without logging the atmospheric conditions were on both runs and then comparing the slips. your 60' should have gotten a little better at least.

until you practice withthe 4.10s and get the 60 down, times won't change much.
You can get 13.20s out of it

Yea, im running 13.30 @ 104.14 W/ 2.01 60'. I dont see how your running a 13.6 With a 2.0 60ft and 104 trap. Something isnt right. As far as 4.10s, i think people get a big miscomseption as to the "feel" and think its the same as adding 20RWHP LOL. 4.10s really wont help trap, but they should help off the line. If you cant get the 60ft better then 4.10s really wont help THAT much. 1 tenth sounds about right for just getting you into the powerband quicker.

You need to work at getting your 60 ft down. I get 2.0 60 ft. with street tires. I've run 13.731 @ 100.75 mph, with my auto.. Your trap speed is awsome at 104. Add a 3000-3200 rpm stall torque convertor and tranny cooler and you'll be running 13.1 to 13.3 easy. Are you doing a good burnout to heat those tires? I've been trying to find out how much drag radials will help my 60ft times without a high stall torque convertor, but it seems every guy with an auto and sticky tires has a high stall torque convertor. What was your trap speed before the gears and drag radials?

elevation here in NorCal is barely above sea level (around 15 feet above) and stock GT's have trouble seeing 100mph... there are cammed GT's with many bolt-ons barely seeing 104
Auto tranny especially... i see Mach 1's barely trapping 103-105 with the bolt-ons that are claimed
if cammed gts are only seeing 104 then they cant ****ing drive....since my vert was trapping that with 4 modsBLUE03GT said:

I'll say it again as I said in another hot thread about results on this particular track. Elevation only isn't enough. You guys in Cali are getting serious hot temperature. You guys also have to consider humidity and pressure to get the real elevation or Density altitude. I ran multiple 102.9 MPH with only Magnapack and BBK CAI last saturday at the same track. The density altitude where like sea level which I doubt can be obtained in California.
For the main question, switching to 4:10 shouldn't get better trap speed but should lower the ET big time (like .2 to .4).
And for the BS trigger happy, I don't know either of the original poster who have made extraordinary trap speed except for myself because I know you will call BS

that trap is high, especially for an auto. I didn't see that before. If that is the ET with a 2.0 60 ft then you can pick up at least .2 in the 1/4. Play with the tire pressure a little. Do a good 6-8 sec burnout. A little tire spin can be good. A stall will make you very happy. Your trap speed may be a little less but ET will be better.
If this is the same track that several have run real high traps at, I also called BS a couple of times , not that it wasn't done as far as trap, but as to the basic mods on the car.
