Re: tranny question
Hmm,
The only way I see it (th350) holding you back any, is that first gear might not be as low, as the granny 4spd you have now. But i could be wrong on that too. The stick shift guys will clear that up. Both tranny's have a final drive ratio of 1:1. So no help on the upper end. The rear end gear is what you'd need to change to get the help you need. Going to a numerically lower gear would decrease off the line torque, and lower high end rpm's. But that's a lot of work when a little self control is what the doctor is really ordering here. Something tells me that after a few tickets, higher insurance rates, and a few sets of rear tires, you'll lighten up on the throttle a little bit. Don't get me wrong, I have a few sets of black marks on a few roads. But you can leave black marks with a Yugo. So that's no great accomplishment. Getting one to "hook-up" and go forward is what it's all about. Work on that, and your self control. And if you have none of the latter, change the rear end ratio, yor pocketbook will appreciate it too. Jay

Re: tranny question
actually, he probably already has the 3.07 freeway gear.
I agree with the ticket comment. I had 3 in the first 2 years of driving, then no more for well over a decade. I hate throwing money out the window. I still have problems keeping tread on my tires... but there is a time to play, and a time not to. |

Re: tranny question
when a rod comes out the side of the oil pan that will slow you down i would think to do a respectable burn out you must be doing it in 3rd gearor arodwould have already said peek-a-boo. i never tried to do one in my truck but i'm in 3rd after about 6' if i use second at all
