I hadn't thought about a diff, maybe I will since who ever did my 4.10s left and unbelievable amount of backlash. It clunks with every shift. And yes I certainly don't want to step back down in gearing (numerically.)
Thanks kooldawg. I really don't have an issue getting it out of the hole. Like you said, I feather it a bit and it jumps out. It is the 1,2 and 2,3 shift that are the problem. That and when I nail it from a punch in 2nd or 3rd.
are you sure its how they set the backlash thats giving you the clunk? a majority of these cars have a clunk because of slop in the drivetrain, mine is mainly noticeable when nailing the gas from a roll, or on shifts. or over bumps.
and also, get a decent set of drag radials you'll be set. don't get the nitto drag radials. i have pretty much the same set up as you and my nittos [325/50/15 with about 18 psi in them] i completely mutilate until they get hot, and it takes them forever to get hot. i hook better with the stock tires when these are cold. it makes things more exciting, but no good for racing.
this february i'm going with a set of 275/50 or 275/60s, depending on if i go thru with what i want to throw on this christmas will tell me how tall i go with.
i've heard great things about mickey thompsons drags, which i will most likely be going with.
i've heard the bfgs are decent, mixed reviews on those.
and i've heard a few different things about m&hs. i was thinking them, but alot of people say that m&h run skinnier then most tires.
i figured the nittos last the longest so thats what i went with. the only thing i liked about the nittos is when they were spinning i would leave marks shifting into second gear that looked like a steamroller was doing a burn out.
with the stockers i'll shift into third and it'll get sideways on me, but in second gear it'll just spin em but still keep up momentum. it got to the point that with the nittos i would shift into second and it would just basically slow down and just smoke the tires up, until i let off the gas so it can pick up the pace again.
