Mods Finished, Now For Sale. I must be nuts!

[Tomcat]

I finally finished all of the mods to make my 94 perfect thanks to JonB, ROE, and Tom Sessions. Now I want a 98/99 and possibly an ACR. I must be nuts. I learned a lot making (mostly paying for) all of the mods. I would do it all again with maybe one exception, the 355 gears. My VCA ad has a picture.

And this is one NICE looking car......I think it also has late model wheels.

Thanks Tony. I need to add that. The 355's are great for the street. At VOI7 it was clear that I needed to shift into 4th gear and others with 307's did not. One less shift would be good if tracking the car which is what I plan to do with my next Viper.

Ok, Now we know about the 355's on the track... tell us about
the good points of the 355's on the street..

Thanx

Dixter, if you are not going to track the car, do it. I can pull 2-3 car lengths on a like hp GenII in first and second. The seat-of-the-pants difference is substantial.

You have to shift to 4th even with the 307's

 

[Snakester]

I thought that the 3.55 gears will take you to 130MPH in 4th, which would mean that you wouldn't have to shift unless you were making MUCH more power like with a N20 or a blower.

 

[Tomcat]

Snakester and PhilC, you are both right. At the strip, shifting into 4th is all that is needed. At the track, 4th (VOI in Nashville) and 5th (Road Atlanta)are used if you have 355's and probably one less shift if you have 307's. On the street in everyday driving the 355's are a good choice.
