Are you running 33's with stock gearing?? I always have A/C on in the desert.Quote:

I'm roll'n 35's & 4:77's...:smilewink
Also, the fact that you always run your A/C, isn't germane to my statement...:_thinking
I was trying to explain my perception of the difference in acceleration between stock & 4:77 gearing...:fyi:
I have 33's w/stock gearing. I like LDubs analogy about the A/C.Quote:

Back then I had a Cherry Bomb Vortex muffler (similar to Flowmaster 40). Recently I added a SuperTrapp with 24 disks to tame it a little. It gave better tone and higher RPM torque due to back pressure increase, but low-end torque dropped a little. It bogs SLIGHTLY from a stop if throttle is aggressive. Once up to 2300ish RPM and WOT, it screams (as much as a 3.5 can...).
But, less restricted... yes, much better off the line.

I do diligent research all right, I just have CRS! But thanks anyway!!
Thanks SilverBullet! I just went back to a stock muffler after going half deaf with the Flowmaster 40. The only experience I've had with the SuperTrapp was on my Baja and my dirt bike, I think I was running about 12 or 16 discs on them. Just talking ya know.Quote:

If you had actual comprehension of what was said, you would be able to figure out that the DIFFERENCE in acceleration, with & without the A/C on, is what I was referring to...you DO know that acceleration is slower with the A/C sapping some of the power...right?
:fyi:...You quoted me when asking this question...so I thought the query was directed @ me...:_confused

If you even had comprehension of the TITLE + author of this thread, you wouldn't have quoted me, OR asked that question.
Can't hardly wait to be of help again...
