Paxton torque with 3.15s

[Ponderthis]

Currently have a paxton setup on 3.6" Lund tuned with 3.15 gear auto, it seems pretty soft until about 5500+rpm it really starts to pull, my other 15 GT I had last year with this same setup but 3.55s seemed to pull a lot harder on the initial hit at say 4k rpm or so from 40.

My question is will the 3.48 pulley yield me any low end gains since it's smaller and should spool up faster? Trying to avoid going torque booster Wastegate or to a diff rear end gear right off the bat.. thoughts?

What size tires? If you have 28s then going to a 26 might make a big difference. Otherwise find someone to swap pumpkins with.

Yea I have 28" on oem 20s.

Well you don't have 3.15s, you have something closer to 3.00s. I felt I considerable difference in take off with 3.55s with 26s (basically 3.73 effective) vs 3.55s with 28s (closer to 3.42s effective).

Damnit. The things you don't think about. Thanks for posting this. I have 3.15s with 28.5" NT555Rs for DD and 28.1" Mickeys for the track. Maybe I'll try the 26" Mickeys when these are done or switch gears if I find a bargain.

Centrificals love gear to a point of course, 3.55's if it were me.

Yea I have some decent 26" MTs that I took off for 28" thinking they would be better, then felt the difference in launch and regret it. If I don't sell them by the time I wear the 28" I'll throw them back on and use them again.

You can try my nittos which are a bit shorter
