What gears should I run?? - Lone Star Stangs

tpcobra95 · 10-15-2007, 02:44 PM

Okay, so I am needing to figure what rearend gear I want to run. I was going to run 3.27s with a turbo, but thinking I will most likely build a Procharger car. Will they still work, or do I need to go to something else like a 3.31, 3.55 or something steeper. I am going to run a 8.8 with 325 Drag Radials on a built 4v with most likely a D series Procharger. What do ya'll think??

At least the 3.55 preferably 4.10's 4V's like RPM

tpcobra95 · 10-15-2007, 06:15 PM

See I have 4.10s without power adders, but with you want something like 3.55 or 3.73. I really need to look into this

Stang6uy · 10-15-2007, 06:21 PM

well you drove in my 98 and it had 3:73s they were perfect IMO.....

tpcobra95 · 10-15-2007, 06:31 PM

Your car felt great with them. I am trying to find out what is going to work best with lots of boost and lots of tire.

proly 3:55s then....arthur had them in his roush in england and he had almost the same setup as me and was a little disapointed.....so you going with more mods I would think this would be a great gear.....

+1, i have a buddy with a turbod 347 lx hatch and he had 3.55s, and switched to 3.27s and he's very pleased. But then again that was his opinion. Id do 3.55s

I'm assuming your going with 325/50/15 in a 28 inch tire. That is a pretty beefy tire with almost 12 inches of contact patch to the pavement. What is your transmission & gearing? I would look at what you want to trap speed in the 1/4 mile and build off that.

3.73 or higher depending on desired trap speed

tpcobra95 · 10-16-2007, 02:01 PM

The car is being built, it will have a C4 auto and yes 325s are 28 in. tires

311-420 · 10-17-2007, 03:05 PM

4.10s or 4.30s

**AdRock** · 10-18-2007, 01:41 AM

I'd say start with 3.73's and se if you want to go up from there.

thatdavidkid · 10-18-2007, 09:41 AM

that's a huge tire that will act like gear reduction.....i say at least 3.73's or 3.90's
