hey Mark, what did you have max boost set at last year and how much are you running on the new setup?Quote:

Justin, you don't want tall gears under boost.....you get more power, but it comes on at a ramp rate, where Bills car is like hitting a light switch.....instantanious full on power
correct me if I'm wrong, but the thought behind the final gearing is the lower gear lugs the motor more and for longer in each gear to build more boost.....right?
I run the 3.50 ratio to keep RPMs in 3rd reasonable at the traps. It goes thru at about 6100 at 133mph. The boost is not actually controlled like with a turbo, is a function of engine size, blower rpm & restriction in the motor. I have the same pullies on it as last year & expect slightly lower boost as a result of more displacement.
yup your right, I was thinking of turbosQuote:
