Did a quick nut and bolt / fluid check and headed out. It runs MUCH better with the 3:73's! It pulls better from roll than before. I think its more than the gears, it would try and bog for just a moment before... now it just hits hard no hesitation. I think the added engine speed ( I guess that is due to the gearing change) helps it when you crack the carb wide open. Anyway, I still wish I had another 100hp. I also had the chance to launch off the converter, I'd been very curious about this. I can foot brake until 2500-2600, side step the brake and pin the throttle. Dead hooks and moves out pretty good. Seems to have a slight bog right off the brake, almost like it wants more stall (or more torque). This little 235 drag radials are doing exactly what I wanted them to do! We cruised over and had a burger before heading home.
Next big step is getting the fuel and ignition ready to support a 125 shot. Well, all that and full hubcaps!
