How can I get my '32 Ford to hook up better???
....Hello Everyone... my '32 Ford weights 2450 pounds, has 499 Ft. Lb's of Tq. @ 4000 RPM & 460 HP @5400 RPM.... A Turbo 400 trans w/ manual shift, reverse pattern, trans brake w/ a 2500 stall {app}. Tires are 10" wide cheater slicks with a 4 link rear suspension {non-adjustable}. It now has a 3.0 single track rear end. This week I'm going to go with a lower gear posi unit. Coming out of the hole it just FRIES the tires. Posi will help this but lower {numerally higher} gears won't. How much difference will the posi make???... Anyway, what can I do to get the car to 'hook up' better??? If I install brackets so that the 4 link is adjustable will this solve the problem??? Also I'm thinking of going to 12" wide wheels {10" on it now} so that I can use 12" wide cheater slicks instead of 10's. Will tires that are 2" wider make that much difference??? Funny cuz when I was getting together the parts to build the motor I wanted MORE, MORE, MORE HP but now I can't hook up what I have!!! ;0 THANKS
