10.20's 132-3mph, hell you can run a 5.00 gear 1/4 mile with a 1.69 low. Good torque converter slipping 4-5-6%.

i recently bought a transmission with 10 runs on it out of a TS car that has 1.69s in it. I will be taking them out to replace with 1.80s. I will let them go for half of whatever a new set cost if interested.

Pauley…KNOWS!

A 1.69 low gear has no business being installed in a bracket car no mind a mid 6 second 1/8th mile car. Didn't think of that

Quit your crying, lying and denying b!tch t!ts.

Front and back seat delete with 300 lbs ballast in the trunk.

That's you over there in the right lane 106 mph par for course sbc crate motor, you order over the phone, cuz you have no real drag racing skills of your own. Smile

112 mph on the left side is fastest in the land, 6.40 or slower. Fact

Prove me wrong... You can't

2. 1.69 Fastest mph in the land 6.40 or slower 23 sbc 3200 lbs

3. 1.69 Fastest et in the land n/a 23 sbc 3200 lbs out the box brodix T1 or AFR 23 heads.

4. 1.69 Double 0 .370 Pro Tree

What's left in the proving ground for 1.69 low gear?. Nothing.

What is your idea of improvement when related to this? I have considered a 1.64 in my car so I can take some starting line ratio out of it and keep the rear gear for finish line rpm. I run high gear only quite often and like how it make the race look.

That’s all pretty much meaningless if you haven’t won any races with it.

1.69 low gear is the topic. In the right hands, this is its capacity for drag racing performance.

The standard.

Ahhh... ha...ha...ha! I like how you invert everything.

You have no friends you can name, so you'll have no evidence of any claim you invent.
