Bump to top.. see some new folks, maybe they'll take our poll?
I changed categories in February; went from aqua to green. Thought I posted when I voted, but it doesn't look like it; must be oldtimers.
Uh Oh.. the post above and below mine "thought" they did this already! HAH! I ain't saying a word! 8-) Hee Hee Hee...

Bump to the top, Hope all the new guys on CHR are participating in this one, it's always interesting to see the age spread on here!!!!!
Yea,im in the fifties group,got a 1980 smokey &bandit t/a,540 c.i.pontiac,7f6 heads,trw pistons,850 holley,4 speed tranny for now,my goal is to put a 2.41 gear in the rear with a 6 speed,new wheels and tires,want to build a raod racer out of it,ws6 suspension from factory,figure i will up grade it,stiffen frame,would like to cruise at 160 mph all day long if i want,and i like the fact its pure pontiac ,no corprate v-8 here,keeping it true to the poncho fans out there,yall have a great day,by the way im at holden beach n.c.,and its nice here.
Are you serious, and have you run any numbers on these drive line changes? If you're talking a Tremec 6spd I think that the final drive is 0.5 to one, so assuming a stock diameter tire, 27.5", if you run 2.41 rear gears you'd be at 1031rpm at 70mph, and at 160mph, assuming you could hold it there, would be only 2356rpm. You're just barely into the torque band at 160mph in 6th, and you'd be doing "normal" highway driving in 3rd or 4th. Sounds a bit crazy to me, but to each his own....Quote:

Yeah, I started to mention that it would almost have to have a push car to get up to speed in 1st, but left it alone. Almost sounds like someone planning a Bonneville runner, but not nearly enough horsepower to push through the air in the 200+mph range. Just doesn't make sense...Quote:
