got the old girl booked in next tuesday to get some 3.89 diff gears fitted , its currently got 3.45's.
i was out at willowbank last night trying a few things ,so i could do some before and after testing.i found launching at 3500rpm was best ,so i averaged out my 3 best slips and come up with . 60 ty...ET.......MPH 2.009..14.736..93.32 2.047..14.766..93.32 2.030..14.778..93.44 averaged. 2.028..14.760..93.36 so how much difference do you reckon going from 3.45's to 3.89's make ? thanks guys ,jake |

Well hard to say exactly but you would be expecting beter as the 3.9 will be giving around 5000rpm at 145-148kmh so you should just pass the tape under the rev limit in fourth as opposed to pulling around 4500 with the 3.45.
head to head same car track time diff lane Name Car 60' 330' 660' MPH 1000' ET MPH uselessT50. 2.312 6.497 9.94 71.37mph 12.929 15.458 89.07mph jonbaysT130 2.360 6.635 10.109 70.47mph 13.119 15.667 88.53mph jonbays vs useless0.04800.13800.1690-0.90000.19000.2090-0.5400 jonbays vs useless splits -0.0480-0.0900-0.0310-0.0210-0.0190 This is a run between me and useless with all the splits to show the big difference between me with 3.45 and him with 3.73 and a hi stall was in the 330'. So the diff ratio alone probably giving a 2 to 3 thousandth of a second per split. That would mean a 3.45 to 3.73 would net maybe a 0.15 second better qtr ET. So a 3.9 say 0,2 second better maybe ? |
