Help me win an arguement!

With a blower if you make decent power and run the 4.56s you probably won't be able to finish a 1/4 without having to shift into 5th unless you run a taller tire. 1/8 mile should be ok because even if you have to hit 4th it's not such a big drop in rpm like 4th to 5th. I have 4.10s in my '00 and before I got the 10-pt cage in it (and added a bunch of weight and slowed it down) I was hitting the limiter just before the stripe in 3rd in the 1/8 and in 4th in the 1/4 running a 26" tire. Your car has a little more rpm than mine; at 6500 rpm I think I was doing 96 in 3rd and 127 in 4th IIRC.

What does IIRC mean?

"if i recall correctly"

youll never get it shifted fast enough. 3.73's is a good gear for a s/c setup. 4.56 is useless on a street tire with 400+rwhp

We will see how it holds up with 200hp coupe with 3.73s, from a dig? Or 20?

So Cobraman, FoxbodyNick and 91CoupeMike are triplets?

20 sounds good. I need some practice with launching these 4:56's.
