Anyone with 3:42 gear in auotomatic

[geocor]

Can anyone tell me if their 3800 Cam,or bird can get rubber in 1'st gear with a 3:42 gear?I have a '98 Camaro (3:08)& can burn 'em in reverse but can't get a peep comming out of 1st.I put a 3;42 in my C5 & now I can send smoke signals,when it had a stock 2:73 could only barely get a peep.

I did once, but going uphill slightly, I think that probably had something to do with it.
I have only completely floored it a few times anyway though, I baby my car.

You won't have a problem doing it with 3.42s.

Also probably not a good idea to do a burnout in reverse. ;)

I can light my camaro up with the 3.42s. I could peg leg it with my 3.08s before I did the rear swap. Def. not a problem

My firebird lights em up every single time with the 3.42s....I can even chirp 2nd and mines auto...

I do have a shift kit and a built tranny though.

But I have ws6 rims with 275/40/17s im chirping with 2nd, so it's nice.

When I had my stall converter I could smoke em off the line hardcore and it was easier to chirp too.

mine burns easily and actually chirped second once

yep. it was not the smoke show it is now but it was more than enough noise and smoke to get me in trouble if officer friendly was around.

i heard officer friendly can give you up to a felony for: excessive acceleration, racing, peeling out.
