[QUOTE="slagburn, post: 13174697, member: 124038"] Not really sure what's going on here so might as well start a thread? :shrug: 2013 GT, stock auto with Circle D 2C, Whipple 2.9, stock suspension except Roush upper arm/ bracket. 28" MT stiff sidewall slicks. The car's been running pretty well and has been 60'ing consistently in the 1.52 range. If I lean on the tune a bit the best it's done is a 1.50. Not bad, but I'm trapping 131-133 depending on DA, ET's in the 10.4-.7 range. So I thought perhaps changing up the gear might help get it in the 1.4x 60 range. Wrong! I put in a set of 3.55's I had laying around and the 60's now dropped to 1.58-1.60 consistently. Only two things I can think of- converter's too tight and the deeper gear is loading it less causing a lower flash and less torque. Or my tires are going away. They do have about 75 passes and only a couple 32nds left in the wear holes. But, I'm not blowing them off, maybe just a little slip and slide. Unfortunately I have no video since the gear change to try to analyze. I've seen the guys in the 1.3's with stock suspension and the same converter and I want some of that, what am I missing?
