no one? :crying:

 

Do you have an AOD or a T5 now? Run the car in "D" if it's an AOD or 4th if it's a T5 and that's your 1:1 ratio, the same as 3rd gear in a C4. That'll give you a decent idea of what it'll run at with your current 3.73's. Then you might add a few hundred RPM's because I'd bet that C4 converter is a non lockup. I wouldn't suggest a C4 for a daily driver. I get annoyed with my AOD/3.73/lock up converter car as a daily driver because it turns about 2,200 revs on the highway in OD. 500rwhp + 3500 stall + manual valve body doesn't sound like a good daily driver to me even if it had like 3.27's or something...but there are many people daily driving stuff just like that. It's all a matter of how much you can tolerate. I know I wouldn't try a non overdrive trans as a daily though...just my two cents.

 

Had a Performance Automatic Reverse Pattern Manual Shift C-4 in my 94 for a while. In the rear were 3.55's. This was pretty driveable, but I did not like running around 65-70 for any long period of time. Rev'd a little too high. But man was it great on acceleration.

Can't remember the specifics, but I do remember the shift light turning on at around 100 or 105 at 6500.

 

I did more research, and it seems that 3.55's with a 26 inch tire will be about right for what I want. And be able to trap 130 in the quarter. Objections?

You would need a nice tall tire... with a 255/50r16 stock pony wheel tires and 3.73's with a C4's 3rd gear (1:1) you'd have to run the motor up to 6253rpm to trap 130mph.

(For use to plug into the RPM calculator) The c4's 1st gear is 2.46:1, 2nd is 1.46:1, and 3rd is 1:1
