ZHP with 3.46 gears 40-70mph run (video)

Having some fun. I swear, this new pump made a large difference in the high end. I was leaning out badly before. Its about 3.5 seconds from 40-60 and about 5-6 seconds to hit 70mph. Not too shabby.



Here was the previous pull from 3rd gear I mention in the beginning of vid 1

Do like!

I really need to get myselfs a zhp!

Great vid! Those taller gears really make a difference.

To me. It is very risky changing gears at rpm's higher that 4000.

LOL why do you say that?. I change gears at 6k RPM with a supercharger.

to me. The sound on higher rpms just sound sketchy. And when changing gears at higher rpms, the shift is not smooth enough, it kind of feels rough.

Challenge accepted. 2.93, ECIS intake, Bimmer Brakes headers, no resonators, AC Schnitzer muffler, and some pixie dust.

Yup. The 3.46 swap is fun. The first mod I made to my 330. However, I find that first gear is way, way too short. I also just moved and have double the commute... a nice 25 mile freeway jaunt. Contemplating going back to the stock 3.07 or even taller in search of higher fuel economy. Buzzing at over 3000R when doing 80mph...

The roads need to dry out so I can blast some twisties and forget this nonsense...

I drive a LOT of interstates and as long as I keep the cruise on 80mph, I pull down 26mpg's.

The fun factor outweighs my fuel mileage. Don't go back, you'll regret it. OR just drive slower.

I wonder if Tech Savvy is coming from the old school V8s that don't like to rev past 4k much.

I used to rev the piss out my mustangs too. And on those I did TRUE powershifting, meaning, you never lift off the gas. If you miss a gear doing that, it is BAD.

See if this works.

I count about 5.5 seconds for both cars to 70mph. I still think yours is faster.

Way older than the 80 and 90s Mustangs. More like the large block 60s & 70s Big 3 V8s. Most of those had such large blocks that revving the pistons past 4K was a rattling adventure.

Nah, just fond memories from my youth. How do you think I learned to work on cars? I BROKE mine a LOT and didn't have money to pay people to fix them.

I can't see spending $30k on a new mustang over an E46 M3. But maybe, who knows.
