There is a little experience posted, and a fuck load of bench racing and misinformation here.

I didnt say it would determine a winner. I said that is its strong point. If I posted misinformation on the V please inform me. Every where Ive researched says 440-460 auto stock #'s. 4200lbs min.

Is there any type or church service on a Tuesday night?
To me, 4th gear is the strongest gear in my car. It feels like it pulls the hardest out of all the gears. The way I think about it, getting as close to a 1:1 ratio is the trick. True 1:1 is a lot of stress on the motor. Getting close to, but not at, 1:1 still means the gearing/trans is still doing the majority of the work, but you are still utilizing the motor as much as possible while keep stress down.

Better hope steve doesn't put a DFW5.0s sticker on that V, that's like 300hp right there alone. I've got 2 of them and my stock 2v makes like 800rwihp (rear wheel imaginary horsepower).

Just sucks right now with work. I work 9pm to 5:30am Tuesday-Sunday. Hopefully they hire a new guy soon and we can train him fast so I can get back to Sun-Thurs. The meets are super fun. And I need to drag some people! (Mustangs)

I'm sure when I go out to the meet I'll be removing the easy stuff. Like passenger seat. That's like 65lbs right there.
