Low gear set 904, pro’s and Con’s
Say it isn't so John !! I have always enjoyed watching your fleet of fast Mopars ! .. on the note of low first gears in a 904 my 3,150 lb. small block Dart runs everywhere from 10.60s to 11.50s depending on which motor is in the car with 60 fts being from 1.45 to 1.50 depending on my throttle stop settings. currently set up to run 11.50s 60 fts 1.49-1.52 with the secondaries barely opening... I have used the same Ultimate converter with both motors 8 inch 4,900 stall. Back when the car was running 10.60s with a 4.56 gear we tried a low first gear set in my 904 and picked up absolutely nothing in 60 ft. perhaps because of the converter working so well ? They do work however especially in stockers the low first gear is a big advantage . It just didn't work out in my set up
