Well, I have been busy rebuilding a transmisson and went ahead with flipping 5th and 3rd gears for AXing. It's been interesting to say the least but not too hard. Here is a shot of the assembled gear stacks.

The idea as TimT said is to stay in the power band with your gearing. I know top hp for me is 5200 so I want to shift just after that and be in the engines power in 3rd without it dropping revs too far drop out of the top power range. Anywho, I am giving it a try. Nothing lost, nothing gained.
Aaron, I do have another street tranny in the car. It needs attention real soon! That is why I pushed doing the AX tranny now as the next race is on June 21st. Korijo, I don't have any idea what the power band of your motor will look like other than with all that stroke I would think it would be at lower rev's. Depends on the cam too. Jake Raby puts in a mild cam for bus motors so all the torque is down low. For the bugs he runs those 86a combo's which moves the band up higher. Geoff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
