AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on optimizing rear axle performance for a V8 350 carbureted motor paired with a TH700R4 automatic transmission. The user seeks to improve high-speed displacement, noting that the current rear axle with a 42-tooth gear feels forced at high speeds. It's suggested that a steeper axle ratio can enhance acceleration but may limit top speed, while a shallower ratio can improve top speed at the cost of acceleration. The user also inquires about automating the lock-up or overdrive function of the transmission. Engaging with experts in the field, like Stingray, is recommended for tailored advice.

i have a v8 350 carburated vortec motor and a automatic trasmission th700r4 4 speed , i want to know which one rear axel i get more displacement when the car to go in high speed, because with the actual rear axel it feeling forced, the rear axel have a gear crown inside 42 grooves. and i want to know how to do to the lock up or overdrive works in automatic way.

o_emanuels@yahoo.com thanks for help

tengo un motor v8 350 carburado montado en un malibu 81 con una trasmision th700r4 4 velocidades pero en alta velocidad se queda con falta de desplazamiento debido al diferencial trasero, arranca con mucha potencia pero en alta se queda, yo quisiera mas desplazamiento en alta, mas desarrollo, la corona interna del diferencial tiene 42 ranuras. y tambien quisiera saber como hago para que el lock up o overdrive trabaje de forma automatica

o_emanuels@yahoo.com gracias por la ayuda

Welcome to PF, Omar. Unfortunately, your wording is very difficult for me to understand. And despite having Spanish blood, I can't communicate in that language.
If I understand correctly, the response is that the steeper that axle ratio is, the faster you will accelerate. A shallow ratio will give slower acceleration, but a higher top end.
For example:
If your car (even with that itty-bitty baby motor :biggrin: ) can run 13 seconds and top out at 100 mph in a quarter mile and continue on to 120 mph in the long run with 3:23 gears, swapping down to a 4:56 axle might give you 11.5 at 110 mph in the quarter, but your top speed will be only that 110 mph.
Those are just 'for instance' figures, not something that I worked out mathematically. Still, that's the essence of how the axle ratio affects performance.
You should really have a conversation with Stingray about this.

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
