What are the good bad an ugly about this?

Only one person I know who has a Roe setup with 3.45s and he loved em. His name is snakebit(I think), and I raced with him in Watkings Glenn last year. He also loved the setup for drag racing. On the street I think it's a bit too much gear especially with the tq the Roe blower makes

RedGTS has exactly what your looking for. His real name is Ronnie Range.

"King R/T10" also has this setup and is pretty pleased with it

I believe 1TONY1 also has the 3.55's as well.

I have it too....wouldn't want anything else

 

[1TONY1]

I do have the 3.55's and I like them. I think they make daily driving better...starting off in first etc. The problem is that you will run out of forth gear somewhere around 138 -140 mph in the quarter.....about 10.50 to 10.30 elapsed time. If that is a big concern maybe go with a 3.31 or 3.33, whatever the Viper version is. This pass of mine was at about 6000 rpm in forth through the lights: http://www.catt.com/~darmour/viper1048.mpg

I have this set up and AXE got the same too after being in my car.

Tony, what size tire did you run in the back on that pass?
Just wondering if a taller tire might make up the difference

 

[1TONY1]

26" et street.

Man! Tony does your Viper make that whinning noise? It sounds awesome! Does the paxton's do that?

On your run, you used 3.55 gears? Any traction problems?
What kind of poower do you have?

 

[1TONY1]

From the front that is what it sounds like at full throttle. It had the 3.55 gears on that pass.....it may have barely been hazing the tires, not a bad thing.

I think they've about covered it. It's much better for just driving around on the street and accelerating from a roll. But for WOT in 1st you'll definitely need some sticky tires. In fact I wish I had stickier tires at WOT in 2nd sometimes, but that's the tradeoff for running pimpy 19" wheels--no sticky 19" tires.

Tony is there a 28 inch et street avalable and would that help making the gearing slightly higher for a faster et?

Yes there is. It would change the final ratio but I don't know that it would help make a quiker et except that the potential for a better sixty foot is there because its a little wider and has more side wall. They will not fit without trimming the frame and the wheelwell for clearance and even then there is still some rubbing of the wheelwell.

Thanks Tony, I just wondered if they would fit because i thought that rather than holding redline in 4th you could still be accelerating with the taller tire
