Only 4.56 but I have the following............
brand new crate ls1 with Delphi computer rated @410 h/p
built th400 (upgraded Kevlar clutches,sprag,deep pan,art carr reverse manual valvebody w/compression braking and 32 spline output)
art carr 2200 stall rock crawling torque converter
stak 2 speed monster box(5.44)
As you can see it's a power house.

That is what was recommended - have I made a mistake?
To be honest i dont know, it does sound like its gonna bang in the clutches, and your not gonna have any drive untill you hit 2200 but it should certainly launch.
Have you guys got a rock crawling thing going on over there in the iom?
Edit; wont you have a lot less engine braking on the decent(just a thought)

It's OK then as I thought.
Yep looks that way, from what i can get reading between the lines, you have to get the stall speed matching the peak tourqe of the engine, so theoretically if your peak torque is at 2200 rpm it should kick ass

they're at the top of my list for a set of wheels in a couple of months(when i have the money)
for what i can see they're good quality and a decent price compared to everyone else!
what size rim are yours??
Post by: isle of man on December 27, 2008, 09:44:24 PM
To be honest it's not been easy as I had a problem with the Back spacing and a further delay.
They are very heavy but Hard Core for sure.
Post by: wazza on December 29, 2008, 05:32:04 PM
the waiting time won't be a problem cos once ive spent the money on them i won't be able to afford to run it for another month anyway
ill be going for 16 x 10 but not sure if i should maybe go for 12's
ive currently got a set of 42inch irocs but eventually ill be wanting to go up to a set of 44's (hence the reason for 12's)
what width rim are your boggers on? any recomendations???

pre-preg carbon would look spot on but totally imparctical for offraoding. any side impact will break it resulting in a scrap panel that cant be repaired. light ally sheet or tin which can be knocked back into shape or taken off and repaired.

You need to change the steering wheel.
pre-preg carbon would look spot on but totally imparctical for offraoding. any side impact will break it resulting in a scrap panel that cant be repaired. light ally sheet or tin which can be knocked back into shape or taken off and repaired.
If it is made properly the mounts will give long before the carbon.
Post by: JamesH on January 08, 2010, 11:34:31 AM
As for the look, I think it's good. Most buggys have a slightly odd 'face' in my opinion, just get it done and use it a few times. It can then be changed if really necessary or I suspect you'll have other more functional changes you'll want to make.
