Default So has anyone with a Final Gear swap

I'm tired of seeing people saying that they can run a low 13 with just a final gear swap.


So post up your time slips if you guys actually have any proof

how do you know if they post a slip that's it's theirs? that isn't enough "proof!"

Even if they post the place and time and you confirm there was an event!

Even if someone videotapes the event, how do you know what's in the car?

Even if someone else posts they were there, they might be lying!

Only way you'll know, is if it's on Fox news, on the WEIB network, or the State of the Union, right?

How is this hard to believe? Take into consideration that many people run 13.7-13.8 stock, then check out the video of a stock s2k vs an s2k with gears. Shedding five 10ths or, close to it, is clearly possible.

My Stock S2k runs 13.7 E.T.,with a 2.0-2.1- 60.
gears will substract 0.5 sec,meaning 13.2.Et+/-;if you add I/H/E,you're down to 13 flat,easy.!!!

possible yes, but easy? i'm sure it takes some serious skill to run a 13 flat in an s2k with just bolt ons and 4.57's

I've had a 13.6 so far, but that was with 2.2-2.3 60' times. i have not spent as much time at the track as i usually do, but give me time and i'll get it there.

for whatever you value my word at, i've personally witness a 4.57 geared S2000 run 13.5 and 13.3 respectively.
