What gears you guys running with 28s ?

[bracketchev1221]

Going with the 2-1/8 because they are dam there free believe me I'd prefer the 2" for fitment but when someone says I'll never build a N/A big block sobgo ahead and take these brand new 900$ headers and exhaust we'll figure it out later ,pickers can't be choosers 😂😂

Ok I can't argue with that. I ran a lot of stuff in my cars based on cost whether it was right or wrong. Then go for it.

You get what you pay for in a convertor. You need to get a hold of a good company and have them build you a convertor to fit your combo.
I forgot about you using spray, your engine rpm is probably maxed out now in the 1/8th w/ a 100 shot. If your 1/8th mi racing the 4.10 should
work. You can use calculators to give you a good idea.

so for it to be good on nitrous its going to suck on motor.

This^^^^ the best choice for a converter NA is not the same converter that will work best with N20.

Sounds like you're planning to make a bunch of changes at once. I struggle when I've done that in the past. IMO a nitrous car needs to have gears picked to get you to the line at the rpm that you want - hopefully somewhere just past peak HP rpm because it's 'all about the hit' off the line. I'd pick a converter to be 200-400 rpm's below peak torque on the hit. These imply that you know where you motor's TQ and HP numbers are peaking. It's a great idea to find a converter company/guy that you trust.

Something to keep in mind, you can change gears in a weekend, amount of nitrous with a nozzle or setting change in less than an hour, but to change stall you have to send the converter in and wait.........waiting kills me lol.

I'm only changing the exhaust for this weekend cause there's a big race so Im trying to get the most out of it and I know I'm definitely losing hp N/A and on nitrous from my tiny exhaust system and headers ,then I'm going to change gears cause it's free and takes 1/2 hour to do just messy lol then this winter get a converter and a th400 for it that's the plan atleast

Get one with a transbrake then.

Yes mostly fault but they were rude on the phone yet again will not be ordering from anymore

Definitely - and consider a power glide

I think my car is a bit heavy for a powerglide 3600ish ,I know that would definitely for were I race it at

You car needs to go on a diet ! My Regal comes in @ 3200 w/driver. I will give you an extra 100# for the bb but I don't see a cage either, hope you have one.
