Gear change with w2 408
Well, I had a good opportunity last night to really take the car for a run, put on about 80 miles. I must say, I'm very very pleased with the setup. Pulling onto the highway last night I was able to really lean on it, 1st gear was just smoke, all of second gear the tires were fighting traction with the telltale howl, and a solid chirp into third. Pulled 6300rpm in 1st, 6200rpm in 2nd, then eased off midway through third. I have achieved what I wanted with this car, a very hot yet driveable street car. 3rd gear rubber with 3.23 gears works for me.
Might also have something to do with my brand new Thumper carb. That will be a fresh post.
