5000 RPM launch in second gear with a Muncie transmission 

I ran a 65 Nova with a sbc 11.72 @122mph. Good times

well, i'm sure that it helps that the car has an extremely low rear gear ratio and the traction prep on the track is low. good conditions to smoke the tires instead of the tranny

That's no lie. I don't think that I would ever put one of these in a street car

I definitely think so. My first gear is so low it doesn’t stand a chance to hook on dusty old airstrips

Not sure. Going to be at eagle field in two weeks though

I was just kind of expirementing with gear ratios at the starting line. This track has zero prep, and with my (very) low first gear and rear end ratio, the car would only move about 5’ before having to shift to second. I picked up a full tenth leaving in second, because the car actually had room for the RPM to climb off the line

@Brad355 what rear gear do you run 4 10?

@@billmadison2032 5.83. It’s an 1/8mi car

If I tried that in my car but it would split the transmission in half

@@billmadison2032 yeah, it’s almost a blessing that I haven’t got good traction at any tracks yet. Spinning the tires every pass is easier on the transmission at least

Funny enough, second gear starting line ratio with my tranny and gears is roughly the same as first gear with an m21 and 4.11 rear gears

Trying the benefits of a longer gear ratio off the line. First gear is too short, and on a track with no/poor traction prep first gear just spins the tires and takes time to make the extra shift as opposed to starting in second

@@Brad355 ah yes, I get it!

The car is only geared for the 1/8 mi, but I can say lifting at the 8th it was coasting to the quarter in 11.8X at about 80 mph
