I have a 468 twin turbo old banks deal putting it from my day cruizer to my flat...I have never ran it in the flat...!!468 single carb...bigger intercooler and single 850, merlin heads!! 8 to one, msd BTM and 110 oct!!Ran 6100!at 14 lbs of boost with a 400 turbo trans and pulled hard but I think it ran out of gear!!
The day cruizer was a 77 nordic 19ft with a 11 5/8 menkins 16 tree blade. It ran good..the best speed so far was 83 on the gps!
My flat is a 77 dimmarrco t-deck...3/8 runner!!2 speed powerglide with 37 gears, or 38's not sure! The guy I bought it from said it was the biggest gear you could fit without cutting the case! So....37 0r 38!!
My question is...with the turbo's and the powerglide in the flat...Should I be able to pull the gears well?? The prop is a 12 x 17 two blade!! My guess by reading the board's is I have too big of a gear but..I have a trans and turbo's...I am guessing the trans will help me load the turbo's for the big gear!!
I want to run hard and fast...but the acceleration to me is where it is at!!
The guy who owned it before me...said with 10lbs you should run over a hundred with the tall gear!! I am gonna try and run it next weekend if all works out!! It's should be a fun ride....Stab it and steer it....!!
The gears....Opinions needed??
