Great replies, and I appreciate it. I will be going with a 3.23 gear I believe. I want to get the motor done first, drive it a bit, and then change the gears out. I probably won't have the motor in until spring, but I am looking forward to a nice street combo, that won't embarass me at the track for the limited amount of time I will spend there. I don't have any numbers on what the car ran bofore I took out the motor, so I won't be able to compare the old and new
Will, I I believe I will go the route that you are talking about, with the silvolites. Also, I thought that with the 2400 stall converter I have, the XE268 would be a great choice, as I'll be launching with power just coming on strong, and it would be a monster all the way to 5500RPM. With the fairly early closing of the intake, I would think that the cranking pressure would be way up and that would help me out down low? Wrong or right?
