Looking for some input for first gear ratio. What would you recommend for my car. 2850lbs 383 small block, 29" tire with 4.56 gears. Shifting at 7200 running through the traps at 7000. Cars been 10.20's at 130 foot braking it with 4000 stall glide and a 1.94 gear set. 4 link car. Just loosen the converter to 4800. 8" ATI converter. Smaller, bigger looking for opinions from experience. I'm new to automatics and the gear set broke so I need another one. Thanks, Vinny

1.94 or 1.98 should be fine for that combo,loosening the converter will help ALOT 4000 was to tight.

I'm going to trans brake it and I dont think the stock 1.76 gear will last plus I want to break into the 9's and I think it will need more than the 1.76 gear.
