Everyone seems to be having great luck with strapping down the front, better 60"

I am curious to see how much it helps on yours and mine.

Your running 4:10's right? I wonder since you have more power going back to 3:73's would help on the top?

I doubt it. With the 4:10 gear and the 28" tire, I'm crossing the finish line at around 5800 rpm. If I went to a 3:73 gear with the 28" tire, I imagine that it would be just like it was last season, when I ran 4:10 gears and a 31.5" tire. Old setup had me crossing the finish line at around 5000 rpm. The current gearing combo is working better than the old one IMO.

Holy **** Roger this is insane. It must feel violent all the way through second gear. Now that you're pushing so much power and low end torque I'd be really curious to see what an 80e swap and multi disc converter would do to your times. Your MPH would definitely go up... but I wonder if the 80e would chew up too much of your 60'.

Speaking of transmissions.... What all is done to that 4L65E to handle this? Ill be happy just to make low 12s when I throw the turbo on my 4x4. Planning to keep my 60E and have it built to FLT level7 specs.

Basically, what I highlighted in red. It no longer seems to break hard parts. HOWEVER....... the 3-4 clutch pack wears out after about 8-9 months. They just can't live with the power-to-weight ratio. So when 4th gear starts slipping, I pull it & have it gone through with new clutches, steels, and a basic rebuild kit.

Will this pack wear out even if I dont go WOT from 3-4 or doing any hard 4-3 downshifts? Like keeping it in 3rd at the track.

2-3 shift hurts them as well (they come on to go to 3rd gear).
