Head and cam LS1 built 700r4 3:73 gears it's pretty quick. I've had it for a lot of years so it's been a work in progress for a long time. Still more I'd like to do to it but I've moved on to other cars so it doesn't get much love.
How much power are you running? I ask, because I want 3.73 - 3.90 gears from the 3.45 I have with a 700r, but I'm afraid it will not be a good move. I do have 315s all around for it but not on it, 275s get no traction.
I don't care too much about mpg, but it is nice to get 20. My stall is a little much for my gear too, but just over idle is 70mph.
I wish I could figure it out some how or just add more power I guess. Oh yeah then the trans is too weak..
yes many nice cars...I will add mine, its only slightly customized (chrome 18's, Borla and a vent hatch that never comes off) but it does have character.

very well thought out, nice parts bet its a kick in the azz
dig the molded in spoiler
Shame the smog laws are what they are, would love to have another 6 spd C4 but rip out wheezy azz motor we are forced to contend with.
polo you wont really notice a difference from 3.45 to 3.73 not worth it
Are you running drag radials? You have so much torque on st tires would be hard to use the power at all
At least with a sticky one when they do start to spin they recover fast
oh my...thats quite the project. the dash is awesome!!! nice clean and simple. GREAT JOB
I agree, this is the one i would use as a template if i were to go all out and ditch the digital dash.
I have a love hate relationship with the digital dash as it is.
I love analog gauges, nice quick reference point.
That and the lag of the digital tachometer bugs me a little.
On the other hand, i have some nostalgia for the 80's lcd that gives me some joy...
x2!
80s everything went digital always felt the vettes shold be simple real analog stuff dont care for all the buttons thats just the way things were back then. If it really didnt mimic the control panel of a Jedi fighter it wasnt cool. Dug the 5.0 Mustangs and Irocs, simple and easy to read
The 89 dash always reminded me of a Pong game and was about as slow. Cool and stupid at the same time lol

Jeff,
Love the placement of the ZR-1 fender badge on this one and the wheels always look killer sorry to hear you aren't loving them. You've put a LOT into that ZR-1 and it shows. Enjoy every minute of it
