So let's say 3000 budget I have an offenhouser intake. And 32/36. I was at the drag races last night with my 3.58 rear end running 18.5
dude thats only like 82 mph. assuming you have 26inch tires thats barely 4000rpm
I looked at the math and a 4.10 ratio is about a 15% drop in time if I hook up and get all my shifts. When I had the 3.73 3rd got squirrely on a HARD shift. I'd like to be in $2000-3000 for the engine. Goal wheel hp is 150-160. If I get more cool but at least 150 hp at 5500rpm and the ability to rev up to 8000 without blowing to kingdom come.
no, the 4.10's will get you up there faster and 4.10's with assuming 26 inch tires will get you up around 5000 rpm by 1/4 mile with 94mph aka 15 seconds
if you are spinning 8000 your clutch is DEAD
8000 rpm with 3.58's and a 26 inch tire is 173mph
get one of the 1200 pound clutches from Marlin that will seriously hook up at take off.
your engine as it sits now with 4.10's can easily do 15's
