I have 3.31's so I shouldn't have to.

looked it up... your 4th is a 1.34/1. My 86 has a TKO with a 1.32/1 which is nearly identical to your fourth. I had 3.55s and a 28" tire which is similar to a 3.25 rear gear vs my stock tire height.
I could only go about 120 at 7200 rpm, and you guys are spinning 7800-8000 correct? I would hope both of your cars would trap in the 135-140 range, so if that's the case you need a tall tire (28-29") or you are going to need to shift. If David has 3.73's he's gonna have to shift regardless of his tires. He'd be better off running a 26" slick if possible.
Just some friendly advice. ![Angels25](images/smilies/angels25.gif) Im good at math and stuff.

these are 28" tall, he MIGHT be able to cross the line screaming in fourth which would be ideal... at the top charge of his blower and not having to include an extra shift.

David's car was moving under its own power Saturday when I went up to ts with my car. Car sounds damn good. I helped push a non running black car into the shop at closing, but not sure if that was the other car or not.

Jeff vs David
I think both cars are still getting little things sorted out. David's is closer than Jeff's to done. Mostly cause Jeff still has to do clutch break in. Can't wait to see these beasts out on the road.

We are working vigorously to get both cars running in top shape, but there is only so much time in one day. Both cars are new with only a few cars ever having done what we are trying to accomplish with each car. We want ton ensure there are 0 problems or issues when each car leaves so they only have to return for more upgrades.

I'm sure it's all over facebook, but could someone just list the mods for each car?
