A good stall and gears, matched to the whole setup of the motor and weight of the vehicle will make it haul!! I am a firm believer that the sum of the parts and the way they are matched is greater the number of "high quality" parts. You will have to set your stall up a lot and your gear as well. To prove that everything is done in the 60, 1 tenth drop in the first 60 feet is good for 2-3 tenths on the big end. If you run an 80 you will need a lot of gear to 60 because it's first gear blows. I would look at maybe a 4.10 or so. Am I the only one that thinks the sole purpose for this "build" is to beat a friend's dad's car. That was the only reason he alluded to building this setup, not to have a badass street sleeper. I build stuff because I love it and the sport not to beat my mom's brother's cousin's aunt's friend's brother-in-law's car. Just not me.

inch-up, aint you got any comments? no replies since yesterday.
i think if he goes with the 80e he can get by with a 3.73 b/c of it being a light truck only if he runs at least a 3800 conveter

Holy hell! I click on the latest post trying to get into this thread of mine to see I've missed 20 since yesterday. I don't have time to read all these right now but I'll pick through them and reply accordingly after classes are over later tonight. Hopefully the homework load is minimal.

quote of the year nominee!!

give him time, plenty of internet racers turn into real racers.... it just takes time and money.

I don't understand some of the posts. A lightweight truck with a Gen III 382 and a 200 shot shouldn't have to be a wild cammed drag truck. A 4L65E with a 3200 stall is all that would be needed. On the juice it would likely flash to 3800. A big cam is almost never needed if you use a big shot. Sort of like boost, just up the jet size. I'd probably go with an iron block over aluminum due to cost and durability. I feel that Inch's biggest issue is going to be cost more than whether or not it's too racey for him.

"If im not back in 5 Minutes wait longer"

I also think that most posts are now to the point of trying to sift out the BS that has been flying around.

i think everyone is going to go 'wait a minute... i'm going to go back and re-read what he posted and snuff out the lies'.
