Sounds like that motor in your signature is the ****! lol Anyone running these times with a TBSS intake? I don't want a FAST with the issues people are having and my motor's biggest downfall is the stock intake on it. I think mine with a TBSS intake, NW90mm TB, and the 4.30's will pick up quite a bit. You guys with these 11-second trucks are pumping me up! I thought I'd need at least a 100 shot to run those times.
28" tire the bitch launched hardgears dont match converter, converter matches peak torque
at a certain rpm my opinion 3" dual nothing less !

i used to run the nbs rectangular port intake, it was great, with a 90mm tb, gears are part of the puzzle in gaining and producing the times i hit, i built my LQ9 to be all out NA motor, so i went with a 4:88 gear
its not so much matching the converter, its what you want your setup to do, you want a all out motor then go 4:56, i ran a 4:88 gear 28" tire the bitch launched hard
gears dont match converter, converter matches peak torque at a certain rpm
my opinion 3" dual nothing less !

thing you wanna do is find out where your peak torque is, once you know that then you wanna choose the stall speed, if i had to guess youre real close with a 4500, if you can foot brake that thing at around 3500-4000 youre golden, but hoping you dont push through the brakes, if i had to guess your peak torque is probably around 4400 which the stall is gonna be bad *** when it flashes youll be right at peak torque, shift it at 6200-6400 i personally think i was over shifting my lq9
i was shifting my 408 at 6900 then after looking at the paper work and calculating a few things we esitmated peak torque around 4800-5k, i run a 4600 stall now, i dropped my shift points down to 6200 i was like hmmm, so i upped them alittle after each pass, the gains it showed were pretty decent, so from 6200-7200 the sweet spot was actually 6600
then i started messing with the timing, i pushed a buttload until she wouldnt gain anymore making necessary adjustments , she finally settled at a nice 34* ( im not saying do this ) im saying i read my plugs NA and also on nitrous
i tuned by them. or should i say made adjustments. i have pushed 36-38-40 * didnt gain anything pass 38 so i backed off 4*

no but if i had to guess at least 2 or 3 tenths maybe more, specially from a 4:10

I think 456 gears will be about as high as i want to go since i still want to drive it on the street.
Now i just need to find a cold air intake or build one -_-

im surprised he didnt build one like the one i have, supposely special lol i sure know it works well, just alittle tight than what i wanted but i yet to really break it in
4:56 will suit you fine, lol i used to drive to houston ( baytown ) with 4:88s 3k rpms a detune wasnt bad i have 4:56s now, and yeah i miss my 4:88s

thats the same converter i used to run , his 5C 4500, i hope you have a triple disc
