Default Supra LSD 0-60

Quick Question...Anyone know at what speeds the tranny shifts if I install the 376's?

With the stock gears in a 98gs the tranny only has to shift once (first to second) to get to sixty, I assume that going to the 376's from the supra would mean two shifts (first to second, second to third). What I do not know is will the extra shift negate the gain?

My buddy just got a 300c (not SRT8) and my car suddenly feels slow...even with the P.I.T.C. and the SRT Intake/ECU. I hope that gears, headers, and exhaust can get me back in the game or else it's time for a turbo...or possibly a trip to the Chrysler dealer.

God help me...I'm considering buying a Chrysler product.

This isn't directly to your question, but, I'm surprised you find your car to be maybe not as fast as the 300C.

At our local track, I was getting 14.17 on the same day that an experience driver was getting 14.5's out of his 300C. (stock car)


(I only have the torque converter and HKS mufflers, nothing else)

good observation. personally i do believe that with the supra tt unit, yes it revs faster, but the extra shift to 60 might be hurting you. imho it's a better "mod" for 1/4 mile or track racing. personally i don't care as much about 0-60 on this car since traction is an issue with the tc and lsd. i prefer rolling start
