railer Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 411 gears at cc was good but sts i have alot of spinning that why I think a 373 gear would be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purestock3 Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 5.43 FINAL huh..? Dang....thats a tall gear I'm at 6.45 looking to go lower I need about a 6.60, but I don't have that option w/the (auto)tranny I've got. Unless I run second gear 1.52 w/4.33 rear = 6.58 Â Anyone else running a 6.88-6.90 FINAL gear??????? And making it Stick????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redd35 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 The 5 43 was for mods . I think the street stocks are running 6 90. We may turn them a little more and probably more straigt away speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck99 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 This thread has been pretty interesting. Looks like guys are running anywhere from 5.29 to 6.90 at STS and doing well in the entire spectrum. I know the mods might use a little less than a heavier street stock, but that's a pretty big range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railer Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 does anyone know what bill #13 is running or is that top secret ( lol ) railer #27 haw come on bill tell us your secret we cant catch you anyway lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyT66 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 690 in a street stock?must have a good lower end.i knew some pure stocks were turning tight.but how can a pure be pure and turn 7000 week in and out.wrist pins and stock pistons just wont take that.not stock stuff.....in the #67 we run 538 final.does not turn alot of rpm,but has no wheel spin.i can see where a less compression motor in the s.s. could use more gear to help get it off the corner.in the sport mod we used a 620 total.some are going to the 600 range and seem to be going faster.its all what the heads and cam will allow it to do.frank t.

Truck99 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 6.90 seems to be the gear of choice at CC speedway. Is there really that much difference needed just because the track is dirt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Lugs Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Bill is running a 1.68 second gear and a 4.11 rear gear. The only thing he has done is change his driving style on turn entry to get more bite off the corner. This dropped the amount of rpm's he was turning down the straights. We broke a tranny last week replaced it with another 1.68 we got from Chuck Perry this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Is there really that much difference needed just because the track is dirt? In Purestocks we ran big street tires at CC The G-60's we run now at STS lowered our actual final gear quite a bit. 6.45-6.50 seems to be the gear of choice right now.

BobbyJack Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I was running the same gear ratio at CC. 6.88. Same as the super streets. I am not turning the rpm's some may think because my car weighs more and does not handle as well therfore corner speeds are down which means the straightaway speeds\rpm's are also down.

Flyin34 Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Running the 1.89 3.73 combination. Puts me at 7.01. With the G60's I turned around 7100, with the asphalt skates I turned around 6600, 6700 at STS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyJack Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 The other thing to consider is the horsepower difference. Headers, cam, rockers, and intake make more power, therefore they can pull a taller gear. That is why the modifieds are running such a tall gear. high hp, low weight, good corner speed=good strait-line speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
