Took my 7 to the track and its not to bad but my third gear is steep, what do u think i could do to it to make third go off a lil better and where to u recommend to shift?

 

4.78 gears fixed that for me, the 2-3 shift comes at a lower speed that the engine can better handle.

 

****... how much will that cost me to do that?

 

It all depends...

 

the rear end from a kia sportage 4x4 will work what model do you have. i know that wackyracer was playin around with that!

 

i have an 85 gsl

 

Make more power.

 

^I would second that. Although if you are racing in a certain class you may not be able to do that.

 

im going to do direct fire ignition gizmo and a header... then eventually new carb set up... then my other 12a ported... but i was just curious to see what else i could do to it

 

Correction only the Front Diff from a Kia sportage 4x4 can be used. The rear diff will not work.

 

oh ok. i thought that SE the rear end would work on it but i have been before! thank you

 

The Kia option is NOT an LSD so be aware of that, a stock change, minimal granted is the GSL-SE center at 4.1 over the 3.909 on a 12a powered 7.

of course you can weld that sucker, but it'd be bad on a daily driver.

 

SE 3rd member will only work on S3 GSL. For non-GSL, better bring out the beer and ear plugs. I ran them for years. But now, Im running a kia 4.44 with LSD...good but boring on top end.

Too bad I have several trannies. Otherwise, I would have one specially made with tall 1st gear.

 

He has an 85 GSL Wacky, its in his profile.
