Not really, if you think about it that's exactly how you've always talked to me. Meh, have another beer and we'll discuss those 3.42s.
I'll keep you in mind for whichever route I go with the truck, thanks.Im gonna say its probably not going to do what you want, even at 1000 horse. Every time ive seen your truck run, it has run well and by the sounds of things its going to be hard to beat around these parts come spring.
Im not sure where in CNY you are from, but if you want to try it anyhow or go a different route with gears and need a fair price on gears and installation in the general CNY area, drop me a line.
Thanks for the feedback. I know what gears I should be running to pull, I was in the mind set to have a somewhat streetable setup. I barely drive the truck on the street as it is, only weekends, I'm just spitballing ideas. I pull in NY mostly where there's only a few descent tracks and some are sandy, others are just dirt fields. Since I've researched and found where track speed can vary from mid 20s to low 30mph range I figured I'd want more wheel speed to spin the whole track. So even if I ran a lower wheel speed say 35+/- this wouldn't be something that would work? My original plan was 4:88s until I found out about a 3:42 on a couple trucks that seem to be running well.

I wouldn't expect any less from you.
If Corey ran stock allison gearing 3.42s would never work. If you're not creative you don't win.
Please enlighten me with your math, im waiting to prove you wrong.....
I was questioning his statement as well
4.88 give you a 13.27 final
13.1 can be achieved with a 3.42 gear
So I wasn't following how it wouldn't work.

In what gear? In drive I get 9.3:1
Just wondering Why so many auto guys don't wanna run direct drive? 4th is direct in a Allison correct?
from phone
That's going to be hard on parts to get it to spool and leave in that high of a final don't you think?
