Im planning out the final pieces here, I need some advice on Tire size/gears so I can match a TQ Converter to them. Motor should be making right around 500 hp/500 tq. Car is stripped and will not be a DD.

 

Good topic... Should be some good info posted

 

all gear ratios are based on a 28in tire. What cam , carb and cid are u running

 

Custom grind cam from camtech

4v 351c
Edebrock performer 351c

Carb is holley 750, If this isn't enough I think an 850 will work well.

built 4v heads

Forged pistons

compression is 11:6

 

I always thought it was a 26" tire. Heh,.. learn something new every day.

Not as many replies as I thought there would be.


Ok,

What tire/gear combo are you using and what is your ET?

 

3000 lb car + my 180lb ass on hoosier 28x10 slicks , 3.70 gears , 8 in converter , 10.17 @134mph on motor thru full exhaust

 

its pretty sinple. your cam is the brain to your engine. with oug vehical weight and cam specs this is a pointless topic if your running a bullshit street cam 4.56s are pointless if your running a monster thats looking for 8000 rpm its a different story.

I suggest you evaluate what you WANT out of the car and decide what cam IE brain your using as your carb , fuel system , converter , gears and tires will be based on this.

 

Clevelands, especially with the 4bbl heads like 4.10's+. Alot of cars I've seen with 4bbl heads run 4.30 or 4.56's (28in tires) because they dont make no powah down low because of the runner/valve size. Oh yeah, plan on some spray too

 

tommy the n2o head, lol.
