As for gears, runs something more aggressive and then put a Gearvendor overdrive on it.

That is exactly what I'm planning on (and basic budget to build).

$21,990 will get you the complete kit, short driveline, paint, and tires. My plan would be to retire the AI car to cannibalize the driveline/brakes/wheels.

No, eventually planning on building a '65 Cobra Daytona Coupe and need a good highway gear for getting to/from work... many years down the road, but have to start planning now.

Thanks for clearing that up Marshall! Now we can quit trying figure out how you were planning to gain a competitive advantage by running 2:73's and get back to work.

They work great for me, I only use 1st and 2nd gear at most tracks, TWS I have to use 3rd!

At one point, I was thinking of a 351W based 408ci stroker motor for the AI car and then put a really tall gear in it so I could run a lower RPM at the top end (with a reduced rev limiter in the computer)... The engine is still in the corner of the shop just as greasy and ugly as it was when I bought it 11 years ago... I "think" it's an early '70's casting (from what I was told at the time)... Not too bad for $50. It cost more in gas to drive to Oklahoma to pick it up and drag it home.

Too much weight up front!

Too much weight up front!

Yep. Boat anchor.

Yep. Boat anchor.

Which is part of the reason why it never happened... I couldn't justify 75lbs of additional nose weight that couldn't produce any extra "aero" weight...
