360 winged sprint car gear help

racer22r · 4/2/13, 10:12 PM

I am looking to see if someone can help me with what gears i may need for a 360 winged sprint car. I am runing a winters 4:11 rear end and i plan on running the NRA sprint invaders schedule. If anyone can help i would greatly apreciate it, i am just getting started in the 360's so i need a little help to get started on what gears i may need.

You might have better luck on Pitgate. Assuming you are planning on running Limaland primarily. Been too long since I have worked on a 360 to be much help in the gearing area.

We run a 360 all around the "Memphrica" region... Uscs, some Ascs... We get by with having a handfull of gear sets between 6.22 and 6.96... With the exception for you being Eldora, which last time we ran there a couple years ago we were somewhere around 5.50-5.60's...

Also, have you checked with your engine builder to see what rpm range you should be running in? This should help on gearing selection.

I race with SOD and I think I ran 6.39, 6.48 or 6.76 at every track smaller than 1/2. So I guess I would agree with ACP.
