My 2000 TransAm

**Juanmiguel** · 03-16-2013

Oh damn I always thought those rear ends came stock in some vehicles. I will just have to change gears every year then lmao.

I'm at 5k feet high remember? It doesn't make the same power up here as it does in lower altitudes. My guess about rwhp is based on the fact that it may run mid 13s up here if I'm lucky. As far as I understand these cars run around those times in stock form at lower altitude and they put around 290 - 300 rwhp.

I maybe completelly wrong its just a theory that I have.

When you got it tuned didn't you have a dyno sheet?

**Juanmiguel** · 03-16-2013

No I'm not even sure that we have a dyno here. I've never been able to find one. All I can do for now is street tune it by myself.

Actually I just found and joined local fbody forums. I'm going to ask there if anyone knows of a dyno in this town.

Your power level isn't going to change based on altitude, it's going to be your 1/4 mile times that differ from those in different altitudes.

Boy do you not understand anything about cars.............

Corrected power might not differ much, but actual will sure as hell be different.

**asite57** · 03-17-2013

How dense the air is will vary the HP of the car I'm no expert but I don't think it will be as drastic as you think though lol

also if you in the largest city in the entire country there must be a dyno there

**matt5112** · 03-17-2013

Look at how slow his cammed GTP was.

**asite57** · 03-17-2013

Idk man I'm no expert in altitudes, I think he should just dyno it and put this to rest lol

**LS1GTP** · 03-17-2013

Oh, sorry. I'm just clueless when it comes to cars.

I guess that would make sense.

**asite57** · 03-17-2013

That's what happens when you don't put cars you've built in your sig

Don't know how octane works.

Build a thousand cars and tune them.

Does not mean you know how octane works.

Same applies with altitude.

**asite57** · 03-17-2013

Damn that was actually clever

**Juanmiguel** · 03-18-2013

What I understand is that there are less oxygen particles per each cubic foot of air at this altitude. N/A engines suck in less oxygen particles because of this. So less oxygen particles means less fuel is needed to maintain the desired AFR. Less fuel burned means less horsepower. Less HP = higher 1/4 mile times. I guess I can say that this is true because the injector pulse width is less here than it is at sea level. I've measured it at both altitudes on the same car.

That's why I want my next car to be turbo, compressing air helps a lot with this condition.

He's an idiot.

Not to thread jack, and not taking any offense. But why do you say this?

Its a well put together kit, while pricey yes, he wanted a full tubular suspension for the track. Needed to step up the front suspension from the original 01 SS factory suspension, and replace the steering gear and front rotors from the factory ones that were old and worn out. This was a full solution and I could be wrong, but thought they were a solid company for quality parts.

Do these gears look ok or do they look worn?

For the money it costs to get those installed you could buy a hole new rear end

**Juanmiguel** · 03-18-2013

Not in Mexico. It will cost less than 100 dollars to have it installed.

10 bolts are like $75

**TexasTanker19kilo20** · 03-19-2013

Don't see no chips or shearing, go for it, if the price is right, what ratio are they?

373 is nice

410/411 is wicked awesome.

**asite57** · 03-19-2013

It's an automatic the only gear ratio he should go with is 4.10
