New "Nitro" 3.70 gears installed !

Should be all you need...pretty sure that kit has the crush sleeve as well.

Ok, thanks. I'm just waiting on the girdle now. It should be here in a couple days. Hopefully sometime this week, or early next week, they 3.45 gears will be installed.

 

[Scott89TTA]

No problem...that gear set should work nicely since its basically the same as the GN 3.42 gears.

 

[Raymond Bunch]

Yeah, that kind what I was going thinking too. I wanted to keep a similar gear knowing they do very well in turbo cars. I ran 3.42's in all of my Buick's with great results over the years. Hopefully the rear in the TTA will hold out for a while. I want to have a little fun before it breaks.

I see your running the Aeromotive Stealth 340. Do you think this is enough pump for the 80lb injectors?

I'm asking because I just ordered Razors Alky Kit, 80's and a TT Alky chip. I'm currently running the Walbro 340, knowing that I would be upgrading to an 430lph from Racetronix's.

 

[Scott89TTA]

Not running it yet...its going in with my new motor shortly upgrading from a Walbro 340 and 60#. To answer your question yes, it was what my engine builder Billy Anderson told me to run. I'll be running the Stealth 340 with 80# and dual nozzle Alky. According to Anderson, Racetronix and Turbotweak the combo will be fine for my setup on pump gas or race fuel...probably not for a E85 setup.

 

[Raymond Bunch]

Wow, this is good to know. If the stealth 340 can work with the 80# injectors! Single pump right? If so, I'll just buy this fuel pump instead of the 430lph from Racetronix's.

 

[Scott89TTA]

Racetronix sells a true 340 pump as well same as the Stealth. I already purchased the Stealth but did buy their power cable upgrade kit that also requires a bigger fuse at the alternator on the Hot Wire kit. More info on this thread http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/index.php?threads/405928/

 

[Raymond Bunch]

Ok, thanks. I'll look into and read the link.

Been running my Nitro 3.70 gears 295/55-15 (28" dia) MT drag radials for about 3 years now. I went through a divorce right after installing them so my car didn't get driven very much during the year and half ordeal. Only took it to the track once but didn't do any 16 psi trans brake hits like I used to do... probably only hit it with about 6-8 psi. without any problems. Lots of trans brake hits on the street but it pretty much just spins so no real test. They specialize in rock crawling gears so my guess is they should be very strong.
