OK I put the 1200 Gear in For Iron River turned 8400 Rpm's in Super Stock and Finished in 4th place .. left the 1200 gear in there for Mod and turned 8200 and finished 3rd place ... So I did better then I did last years and learned lots about gearing.

Suring I was going to put my 950 gear in but after looking at the track I changed too a 800 instead.. the crew there really did a good job with the track ...And it was taking a lot of horsepower to make it out the end.
In Super Stock I turned 7800 Rpm's and took 1st place. and only changed tires for Mod.
I rolled ShaZam out to about the 50' mark and really took my time with the go fast peddle and ShaZam really hooked to the track in that class, I broke the ring and pinion at the very end of the track Turning 7200 Rpm's.
Had I not broke the ring and pinion I may have gotten another foot.
I was tied for 2nd place but seeing I broke I ended up with 3rd.

What the heck are all these gears about? It seems like it would take all the fun out of it having to always be changing gears. Looks like you're doing pretty good.

It only takes me 5 minutes to change gears and most of that time is spent taking off the 12 bolts that hold the cover on.

I broke the gears down to something that most pullers can better understand .. For those who still have Standard transfer cases .. you pull in low range 2nd gear.
OK Now if I still had that kind in my truck here's how the gearing would stack up ...
Running 1 to 1 Low range 2nd gear
ProFab gear your rear end gear.
650 = 4.13
700 = 4.02
800 = 3.91
850 = 3.85
900 = 3.75
950 = 3.64
1000 = 3.50
1200 = 3.27


Now if you could change your gears in 5 minutes would you??

As long as I don't have to get to dirty doing it. I hate getting dirty at pulls.
