Thanks for the input. One more question. What is the RPM drop between first and second. About 1200 rpm. I'm running an 8" PTC converter and when it shifts I'm still in the 'good' rpm band. I think I remember that your running a 451 or close to that, what are your shifting at 6400 - 6600 rpm and what do you launch at 2500 rpm on the foot, when I use the brake, I'll be launching at 4400 rpm and what is your rear end gear? 4.56:1 Woops, sorry I guess that is more than one question. The reason I am so intrested is that I am starting to build my trans for my new A body bracket car. Thanks for your input. Good luck, lot's of fun Earl Helm Makes the thing launch like a BEAR. I attribute a 0.15 sec reduction in my 60' times with that low gear set. You have to have an engine and converter that can keep the power up when you hit second though, if you don't it'll hurt you. It ramps up so fast in 1st, the first time you run, it'll catch you by surprise. Do the TQ multiplication, it's significant. With the 2.77 over the 2.47, you increase TQ multiplication by 11.25%. That puts you into 2nd earlier and with a strong motor, et drops and if your momo can breathe, your top end goes up. The main advantage is the 60' reduction and the launch.

The one in the link below is $425. That seems a little steep. Anyone know where to get them for less or if they are a good idea? http://www.coperacingtrans.com/images/LowGearSet.JPG Regards, Ken *********************************************************** Apply now for a No-Annual-Fee Discover.
