Is that with the 125 shot?
nice times! got you updated on the fastest truck list
Yeah thats with the 125 shot. I think the 3.42's are keeping me from a better time but I don't spin hardly at all hitting it out of the hole.
yeah you should go 4.10s to get out of the holeQuote:

Yeah, I debated on switching the gears for a long time. Finally I decided to leave the 3.42's and see how they do once I get a stall. I had a local transmission guy tell me to wait till my transmission blew to get a converter because with 75,000 miles it won't last much longer. The trans has never messed up and the converter is the last thing on my list. Should I go ahead and get it or wait???? HHHMMM a 3000 will get me what .4 or .5 tenths at the most right??
At the most?!?!?! Do you realize how much engine HP you must gain or weight you have to drop to be .4-.5 seconds quicker? :nutz:
My guess is you will run slower with the 3k stall unless you back it up with some gears and slicks.Quote:
