lol hell new chrysler 200 is 9 speed......

I'm hearing single chain 7/8" is actually pretty good compared to the dualz

thats in mine greg says 7/8s stretch... v8 spec doesnt stretch but break instead....

imo ill stick with 7/8s cheap under 100 bucks and stretched chain = limp it home. broke = tow it.............

why not go GMR parts and have neither happen.......

because you can buy 10 7/8s for the price of a gmr setup.....

cmon weve gone over this a thousand times.......

GMR over all. It appears to be worth the money.

thats highly debatable and for a car that not going to be a dig car for what nick is doing the 7/8s i bet will be just fine at a fraction of the price....... hell for my setup id be happy if a 7/8s last one season. at that rate ill just keep putting em in.

It'll get a 7/8's chain.

It's also not going to be driven THAT much. My commute to work has gone back down to just a couple miles, and I had a 7/8th chain in the blue car. And I beat the sh1t out of it. And I never had any issues.

3.69 and 7/8" will be stretch city.......don't believe me call up Dave at TEP and ask him.

3.69s in 1 inch? cant remember last time ive ever heard of those im sure the sprockets would hard to find also.

I have 3.91 in 1" GMR setup.........

holy gears... thats like 1/8 mi setup lol

^^^ but id be sooo fun those and slicks and spray the piss out of a na car simple.......

Dave suggested it.

Might have missed the chain, honestly.

I never listen.

But still, I trust his know how. I don't have problem having him build something and standing behind it.

ive got full faith this turns out better than people expect.

Well, install projected for next weekend if all goes as planned.

Got an LS6 intake going on too.

Yay, fun time. Hopefully that'll help the car quite a bit.

trans and intake? this is going to be awesome!

Just got a little bit of research for the LS6 swap. Seems like there is a little hacking involved, lol.
