He has a very nice car and those are very nice times, but it wasn't done with "bolt ons and a mild cam." I'm also not quite sure why he would want the 3.69 gears he runs, way too overkill for the car IMO.

Nice runs though....sweet car.

Shawn, wouldn't he be better off with 3.29 gears? I would think the 3.69 would fet you through the revs in a hurry

Yeah, thats kind of what I was saying. Personally, I'd stick with 2.93'* on a car that quick, but thats just my opinion. Anything shorter than that makes 1st gear basically useless on the street, and with 3.69'* I'd imagine most of 2nd would be useless as well.
