Hey thx Bud, I take it you got my e-mail?
I had no idea Doug did anything with transmissions. You are refer to Doug Anderson, correct?
My pie crust cheater slicks are an old school tire. They are actually retreads from a place called "Towel city" that deals in retro look tires. So they aren't really designed for racing but they are 8 inches wide and 28.5 inches in diameter. I would have thought I could spin them easily with an fe, a one tire 3.89, and a dual friction clutch but I can't. I want to keep the 3.89 so my top end cruising speed and rpm stays the same, but with a wide ratio I could get the line jump better, especially if I go to a posi or limited slip.
The tremec is at least 2 years away money wise.
