I LET OFF THE THROTTLE some time after 100 mph and it was a 60-90 run. This was also an N/A run. I can't show you a 60-12+ because I can't shift and hold the camera and wheel at the same time.

 

did you just say you were in thrd the whole time

 

Any wonders why no 2nd gear?

 

I've been wanting to go to the track, but I never go for some reason or another. Let me clear somethin up here if I haven't yet (though I tried) I'm sure, in fact Im absolutely positive most v8 trucks can beat me off the line and at top speed when my throttle is on the floor. Without the nitrous I would guess it runs high 15's to mid 16's.

I appreciate you not raggin me 91351.

 

yes, that was all third gear. At the very beginning I shifted into/out of neutral which you can see and then I had my hand on the lever and the other was steering and recording just in case I needed to jam it into neutral.

Second gear blew out when I downshifted hard one day and the trans popped and started grinding and I was pissed. I've been drivin it easy since and that was the first time I stepped on it in a few weeks or so.

 

no problem ive raced a lot of your trucks. and i know by how much ive beat one of yours by stock. to know if your tellin the truth. my truck ran a 15.98 1/4 10.02 in the eighth. but for third gear thats pretty impressive.

 

Thanks man, I've got to try and fix the trans which is the weakest link. Here's how a usual race goes - first gear has no traction, second gear moves pretty quick, and the 2-3 shift takes a year and a half. This trans hates being shifted from 2-3 at high rpms which really ticks me off because it wastes a whole second almost. Do you know anyone who rebuilds or makes performance bearings/gears/synchros etc for an NV3500?

 

no clue look into a t56 or richmond 6 speed

 

I looked at a t56 but then my rear end would have to be around 5.10 or deeper just to get the same power as I have now. I'm thinkin I might swap out to a truck T5 with similar gear ratios because those can be built to handle more power. I'll look into the richmond 6 spd too

 

hmmmmmm well that sucks
