Low gears often make it easier to hookup.
Opposite of what many believe . |

 ) I was worried about getting it to hook when I switched from 3.31 to 3.73. It turned out to be much easier to launch with the 3.73- if they slip, it's easier to reel it back in. With lower (numerically) gears the wheel speed picks up too fast once they start spinning. I actually raced with the Carousel Red '69 (belongs to PY member Bruno17) and the Mahoney/Tiemann '68 FAST car just a few weeks ago at the Hemming's Musclpalooza at LVD. The '69 is a well tuned, nicely done car but no real "tricks" built in. The white RAII is another story.  It's run a best of 10.18… or was it 10.13.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
