Re: Rear gear question
My handy dream wheel says 133 is 10 flat horse power, 600 - 620 HP or so.
1.45 60' isn't hateful. Probably has mid 1.30 in it anyhow. A 3 speed, with the extra SLR should make it 60' a little better. A lightweight 3 speed would be even better. Depends on your goals. More rear gear, as was said, will help. Agree with a 5800 converter. Beyond that, if it's consistency on marginal tracks, you're probably best with that low gear. Want to go fast, need the low gear a 3 speed would offer. And more tire. |

Re: Rear gear question
Need a neutral or negative converter to get it to pull off line & the gear change.
5800 stall OK, but there is more to the converter than stall speed. I agree with tire and rear gear change. 1.96 low might wake it up too, but shift it at higher RPM with a lower low gear PG. You are carrying quite a lot of weight for a 7.38 starting line ratio...2.52 low gear 3 speed puts the SLR at around 10.33. With the right 3 speed converter it would pick up a bunch. Probably on the + side of .15..
