Just curious how may people are in the 11's NA with only a 4.4 final drive.

I would think that most people would be using a 4.7 or 4.9 with 24.5 inch slicks to compensate.

 

i did it on a 4.4 on 24.5 m&h .....you only really need like 230 hp to do it

 

Bell is the man !!!!!!!!!

I did it too , open dif , but I have a full race TEG .

Bell still the man ...

 

That is encouraging. I need the 24.5 inch tire, I just feared that the tall tire coupled with a 4.4 final drive would not be sufficient enough.

 

yep, bell 4.4 yeah 10.50 on a 4.4 in pomona!

 

you make 50 hp more than me and we 200 lbs less chad

oh yeah and you had wheelie bars!

dont get me wrong you will definitely benefit from a 4.7 final drive....i was only crossing the traps in 4th at about 8200 rpm......

youd be suprised how well 23 or even 22 inch slicks will handle a decent amount of power also.....ive heard of big torque numbers on h22 guys and they said 22's still worked

 

With a 4.4FD on 24.5" Slicks...the car kind of falls on it's face top of 3rd and 4th gear. Depending on your shift points, you would definately benefit from a 4.7 or a 4.9 FD. It's worth atleast 2-3 tenths...

But H22A guys have 4.26FD, so they need shorter slicks to make their gearing better, and to solve the traction problems, a wider slick, like 22x9x13 as opposed to 22x8x13.

 

Great info folks. I appreciate it. I think I will try some 22.5X9 and see how that works out. :-)

 

come on bell im not hatin just stating u can run the 4.40 with with any set up, not comparing our times! and im not saying im using stock gears though!

 

I did it with a 4.40 and 23x8x13 MH's

 

we ran a 10.53 with a 4.4 and stock gears and at 1700lbs and some hp

i got m&h 9.5x22x13 if you want ... they were too short for us (redlining 5th lol)
