Don't know if it has been mentioned, but MPH will always be high when spinning off the line.

I run a 350 because I've had decent luck..I've had one go a few years ago due to driver error,the last one held up pretty good no real issues..the current one is a Hughes with a low gear set.Also the 350's eat up a little less power,I can use the same crossmember and stock location,same driveshaft..

I'm running the T-350 because it came with the IA motor. It is a mystery trans because I got no information on it when I bought the car. It came with JW ultrabell, and was running low 10's, so I assume it was very well built. So far it has been flawless. I will be installing a cheater nitrous kit soon, so I am going to swap to a T-400. Trolling the web, it appears 800hp is the max the T350 is recommended for. I don't want to hurt it or the converter. The T400 may hurt ET a little, but I need the strength. May put the T350 up for sale here soon.

Its a crap shoot with transmissions, big torque and sticky tires will make u find the weak link. Sometimes its assembly or part failure.
My th 350 broke(carnage) one Friday night. Cant remember if Ernie was there? Sucks being on a flat bed with everyone watching. After the 140 tow bill i re evaluated . Went to the 400... |

It will definitely make more power!
And you will lose a little power before 3500-4000 with the T2 but that might help your car hook! Its Very Difficult getting near 600lb ft or torque and 550hp to hook out of the hole!! Ernies Car Would Pick up from a head swap especially if he had Dave do the 305 package on his heads, that plus bumping up the compression from 10.2:1 to at least 11.00:1, But on a combo like his you almost never want to trade low end power for top end power, there is a couple things you can do but not a whole lot with out moving the power higher in the RPM Range. I want to do a 501 or 523" cid engine with similar parts to see if i can get my Land Barge into the 10's, it wont be easy!

I ordered a set of 3:73 gears yesterday. Still thinking about sending them back for a set of 4:10s. 3:08 doesn't cut the cake.

TA Man, how much compression do you run?

I dont think a PONTIAC "needs" all that gear? That's reserved for weak torque Chevies! What are you trying to accomplish? I am finding I just want to cruise. A 3.08 gear is what I think I want. Of course it needs to be mated to a M22Z. These guys doing 11.00's with a 3.08 gear get my utmost respect. I my opinion with a high gear like that, the engine is well past its torque band an just buzzing high rpm for no reason. If I'm wrong, tell me why. ; )

My 73 hasn't been to the track yet. The gear at present is a dog and doesn't work with my combo.

A friend put 4.33 in his car from 3.73, it slowed down. Every car has its sweet spot.
