Re: 5.3 centrifical supercharger engine swap

I'm thinking of swapping to 78/75 just to reduce anticipated back pressure when i turn it up. Wonder how much different it'll spool.

Seats look great btw!!

Re: Considering going back to auto- which trans is best?

I'm guessing its a 2200 lb lightweight datsun? Is the transmission faceplated?

A 1000+ lb diet would put my porker into 1.3 60 fts but then would run into oil starvation. Do you have an oil pump?...

6000 rpm is not going to cut it with a stick shift. We spin bolt-on ls1's higher. 6600 rpm + at the 1/8th mile when I was n/a.

Re: Considering going back to auto- which trans is best?

What tires are you running on with that manual?

3k rpm launching is pretty much bogging. You need a drivetrain that can take 5k launches.

what's your 60 ft look like?

Re: 1982 diff and M/T slickd

Based on you trap speed you should be ok on the 10 bolt. Automatics seem to get away with launching on 10 bolts vs manual cars.
