what kind of stall, gears?? ive got a 69 xr-7 that im tryin to get to 12.50's

[cougar694u]

4000 stall, 4.56's.

im thinking about 4.56 gearing in my rear end in my 68 cougar. but im afraid ill top out to fat. what do u think!

[cougar694u]

4.56's are pretty short. I'm pretty close to topping out when I go through the traps at 115. I'm debating on going back to a taller gear, 4.11's or 3.89's.

Sounds like a toploader trans, really should drop into neutral on decel. You can hear the drive train ocillations feeding back into the motor, that "wa, wa, wa, wa}.

[cougar694u]

Nope, C4 with manual valve body and aftermarket shifter. If I'm careful, I can sling it to N, but getting it back to third before first or second engage is the hard part.

what a piece of shit, my hyundai gets will smoke that pile of metal

[hardwirecars]

holy shit i looked down for a second and missed the hole damn run lol rewind

@IRONSEAN7 I went with 4:10s

[IRONSEAN7]

@MobileDjSC depends on what your motor will rev to.... if your shifting at 4900 RPM,,, 456s will leave you on the red line at 1000 feet

Ahh, Funny, I got booted for not having a cage in my 69 E with a 428 SCJ and a 250hp nitrous system.

any good tips on modding or restoring these cars? thanks for the reply by the way!
