> [@sickboy](#): > > with sticky tires, I’d guess about 0.4 sec Meh the 3.23 rear end 9c1nys old car went 100’s of 1.5-1.6s and is still going…My old one with 3.73s went a lot of 1.6’s before it went but the gears were never setup right. Its the 6spds that have the most issues. ---

Did you put the tranny in the car or was it done by a previous owner? I’ll have to check the numbers on it and see what it tells me. ---

I sold the car in 03 to a guy named Rob, he street raced the piss out of it and put the replacement tranny in around 06, I bought it back in 06 I had a new filter put in along with Dexron VI when I had the stall put in ---
