So, what mods are you doing over the winter?

Post up if you're making any changes to your combination over this winter, any additions, or just cleaning her up..... Post your combo's and track times too!
If things work out, by early spring my car should be sporting a blow through carb'd 302 with a pair of turbos backed by a mildly modified AOD trans. By the end of spring, I hope to swap out the 302 and have my 351 ready to go... and basically just transfer everything over but with more boost, and I'll try rebuilding my first AOD to handle the power.
No track times, but as is the car should run low 15's, maybe high 14s...... With the 302 I think low 12s with conservative boost are possible, before the 351 is ready to go in I'll go to the track and see how much boost I can put through the 302 before the hyperpathetic pistons let loose muwahahaha:icon16:

With a 5 speed you should be choosing between a 3.55 and 3.73...... If you've got a big flowing head and intake I'd do a 3.89 gear tops, but that 347 is going to make lots of power down low so you won't want to over gear it.

yeah i was thinking 4:10 is over kill cause for one i like highway and cops don't like how i drive on the highways. my tko has the stock final gear, i didn't opt for the autocross version of the tko 600.
