Charger Discussion / Racing the rain...

Last post by lloyd3 - July 10, 2025, 01:53:37 PM

Got caught short over the lunch hour. The big drops started about 1/2 mile from the house and it was starting in earnest by the time I got the garage opened-up & the car mostly in it...







Not all bad, really, as it had gotten dusty with the cover of of it (for easier access). Today's lunch was going to be the last one for a while anyway  (July/August and big blocks just don't mix well here). 

Peaceful slumber now until the cooler days of autumn arrive.

I would go 4.10, also need a very good drive shaft because of critical speed of the shaft, Mark Williams makes the best they can spin the shaft for balancing at the proper RPM that your Drive shaft spins , other shops can only spin them 500 rpm, trust me on this, I wasted lots of money on a proper drive shaft, one local built & one from Strange Engineering , NEVER again

I literally would have to go buy a rod to make one. For 12 bucks delivered I wasn't going to bother, and I doubt it would be as nice as this one.

OR you make one for less than a dollar.
It wasn't hard, man. Needle nose pliers and a vice were the only tools.

I consider the T56 to be a 5 speed for most of the time, with the exception being long highway drives. I'm in south Michigan and like to drive up north, or to Chicago or maybe Indianapolis. Those are 4 hour drives, and some are much longer like when I want to go to the upper peninsula. Around town there's no reason to go beyond 5th gear because it already has a .74 overdrive. I took this screenshot off my EFI app last night. This is with stock 727 and 3.23 gears. I usually drive 80-90 on the highway so you can see that rpm would get old on long drives. Same speed with a 4.10 or 3.91 and the .50 OD gives me very nice cruising rpm.
