I took the 4 88s out and put 4 30s in . With the 88s it had a 1 39 60ft and ran 90s @116mph but felt like it was out of motor at the top of the track i only have a 350 ci with a glide. Do you think it helped or hurt ?

What RPM did you go through the traps? What do you spin the motor too?

I shift at 6800 . At the end of the track it at 72 or 73 .

I think you need the 598 sitting in the back of Shanes shop, put some 3.55's in it and let it go!

You may have some slipage going on. My converter stalls 5500. What does the truck weight? My car weights 2800 and still less RPM. :confused:

28" tall baby tire, and what weight? Try it with 6" more roll out and no juice. I run 1.36 60foot and N/A. ;)

If you do the math the MPH and RPM don't sound right, that is why I'm saying you may have a problem, tranny slipage, tach off ? Just doesn't sound right by the numbers you should be at 6400 RPM - 116 MPH. :confused:

I had 4.88s with my 434 and every time i changed gears it slowed down. i tried 56s,30s, and 4.10s. I lost a tenth with the 4.30s and almost 2 tenths with the 4.10s. Small blocks just don't have the top end charge that big blocks do.
Do what you can to make them 60'. since you have a 350 i would try 5.13s

If it needs that kinda gear it must not be making any kinda power.

might not have. It would only run a 4.97@141. but it would 60' a 1.12

no thats plenty fast and i also under stand that something that is making that much power is capible of over coming a gear like a 373 and that you would need a short gear to slow the rotation of the tires down so that it will hook . and in the case of a car that makes tha much power if it did break the tires loose with a 355-or 373 you would never be able to get it to stop spining when it did break loose.
If i have to explain it more than this then you dont get it any ways .

It does not matter how much power you have when you are at 7200 RPM w/ a 30 tall tire and 4.88 gears you should be doing about 130 MPH. Either the converter, tranny, or tach have a prob. :rolleyes:

:o I know, I changed tranny low gear and tires and went from a 1.28 to a 1.38 and added 130 hp. Just don't have the gearing for the 60 ft. :(

Put a ladder bar set up and you'll go, those trucks are ok with the leaf springs but I picked up 3 mph with the swap.

So does that mean the tranny and converter are good and the tach is off, or you just can't read it? :p
