[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16298195, member: 68944"] It’s not that it makes too much power, it’s that when you get into 550+wtq, you don’t want or need a 35mph 1st gear. The 10a makes sense on a high revving soft torque engine, but a 6-7spd auto makes more sense on a zl1 or zr1 imo. My experience with crazy torque is that it looks good on a dyno and spins a lot on the street. One of my builds made 900wtq and 800whp and it wasn’t hooking even with a 3.08 rear and 28” tire. My current combo only make 700wtq and 815whp on pump gas but hooks and books. On race gas it only make 980wtq but 1200whp from 6250-7750 and tapers slightly to 8000rpm. That actually hooks better than the heavy torque setup was. The zl1 makes like 550wtq at 3500rpm, it doesn’t need a 35mph 1st gear with a 20” drag radial. [/QUOTE]
