smithracer11 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I have a 602 crate with 350 turbo and 9inch what gear should I run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert COP Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Last year our team ran a Camaro in the big race, and we used a 323 gear with a 168 Saginaw 3 spd. Final gear was a 542 and the car was at the front of the pack until it crashed. I would think that the 5.38 gear would be the gear for crate if they have a chip rule. A few other folks that I talked to ran a 5.43 and they had some rocker arms breaking issues because of the higher rpm. If you have a motor with stud girdles, I'd say go ahead and run the 5.43. This info is what I've gathered so far in anticipation of a possible run on 19-20 April. Hope this helps! Cheers, Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorboy Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I ran a 5.59 in my CC Super street back in 2006. Dont know what rpm because I didn't have a tach, it seemed to be around 7200. Finished 2nd, but dq'd for 10 lbs light. I would think the crate should run a much lower lower rpm , possibly a 5.14 or 5.29 gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithracer11 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I'm mostly gonna run a 6200 chip so I want to be on the chip going in or a bit before right now I think I got a 5.83 in it for hmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithracer11 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Yeh, im leaning toward that gear as long as i run a 6200 chip. I might as well start pulling out the automatic unless someone knows what gear the trucks run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becka29 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 You better get a 5.00 or a 4.86 gear or you will be on the chip at the flagstand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacecar Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Becka is right, for the 4.86 gear. Remember your old algebra class? 5.57/7200 = x / 6300 x would equal 4.87 OR 5.38/7000 = x / 6300 x = 4.84 With the 4.86 gear, you should get on the 6200 chip, but hopefully not too hard.

Pacecar Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 might be stupid where do you get the 7200/5.57 are they contence In this thread, poorboy stated that he ran a 5.59 gear and thought he reached 7200 rpm. In my experience at SAS, I achieved 7200 rpm in a 500 2-bbl street stock with a 5.57 gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
