Anyone ever run a spool with 3.55's on the street? Just curious....
I've run a spool with 4.86s.
I have ran 4.88s and 5.13s and currently have a moser spool and axles with 4.88s in the Dart for street use.
Would I put 3.55s with a spool in a 8 3/4 on the street for everyday driving? No thanks.
I'm sure you'll be a witness to this progress... LOL. I'm sure at some point you'll be staged beside it

So, does "the race continue"?
I'll answer both these quotes the same. Even when we race, the race continues. Be it trucks, vans, or A-bodies, we'll race and post videos
I used that MP 284 484 in the first motor I built when I was young. It was a low compression 360, 2.02 heads,home ported, with the MP templates . It was fun with a 9 1/2 inch converter. I put it in a $200 62 Ford pickup with 4.10s. I ran a predator carb for a while, and then switched to holley.

Something to think about from a thread on moparts:
https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/897511/360-cam-selection.html
"This won't answer your cam question, But was a good 360 build. A Friend of mine built 72 valiant with a .30 over 360 and the kb107's He ran a real small comp solid lift cam. Think it was 468 lift? I built him a 904 with the low 1st gear. I Had a little special converter a shop here in town did for me. It was kinda like the TCI 3500 street fighter converters but a little better. Ran 3.23 rear gears with 28x9 mickeys. Through 2.5" hooker maximum flow mufflers we got a best of 7.57 in the 1/8 with a 1.57 60ft. It would go through the 1/8 still in 2nd gear. We won a bunch of races in that car. Everyone swore it was a 408 stroker for the way it would leave. Another friend bought the car and was in 14 finals the next year. Then he started running cheaper gas in it and hurt 3 of the kb107 pistons. Cheap gas and Denotation and the kb pistons won't live.
Car was around 3170 lbs with driver."
Get as much Comp as you can tune for.

Gear should never affect engine temp. I run 4.56's and have zero issues. You had some other issues.
Now...fuel mileage...aaaaaaaayup. Gear is a mileage killer.
For me, I'd rather increase my carbon footprint to piss of the granola eating Birkenstock wearing tree hugging fruit loops.
But that's just me.

The engine was in my dart originally when my cousin owned it. When we got the car we sold it to a buddy who put it in his wifes 73 challenger and with street tires and some 2.0 60 foots the car went 13.0s at 108. He kept thinking it had a carb issue so he had me look at it and when he put it in gear it would dam near die-gotta love them b&m 3000 stall converters!.
ahhhhh….. I feel the same. If I have a 360 with upgraded heads, cam, headers, converter in a A-body, I don't want NOS to run a high 11. It just don't sound right.
Aren't bottles for babies?????? (oops, somebody will thrash me over that
)

No you’re safe. He yelled at me and closed his account. Lol. I’m not saying nitrous doesn’t have a need, it’s just not needed here.

does that include brand "?" station wagons with a Mopar 318 or 5.2?I'll answer both these quotes the same. Even when we race, the race continues. Be it trucks, vans, or A-bodies, we'll race and post videos
Well, he rode with me in my Mustang at the dragway, so yes, brand x included. LOL.

You have 3.54's with a spool? Dana probably has more meat on the ring/pinion than the 8.75. Fear is without the thickness of ring and pinion, something could break with to much street driving. I've never run a spool, only sure-grips. I can get a new spool for under 100. Sure grips are 2.7 million dollars. It's the reason I'm curious about it.

Nitrous is like anabolic steroids. Each juice cost you some cheap money and it’s extremely effective but not permanent. When everyone is on it, it makes perfect sense to spray since it’s the most logical method to reach the same power level you’re hanging around.

I know we're not going to argue the difference between 354 and 355 are we?
The Dana has way more meat than the 8 and 3/4.. and I don't think it's the street driving that's going to hurt it... Not going around corners at 5 miles an hour... It'll be the time you heat those Mickey's up on the back and put promaxx heads Big cam and all that on the front and then when that new torque converter flashes at 4500 in the middle...
